Spill Holder
Object/Artifact
One clear pressed flint glass spill holder with a slight gray sheen to the glass. While the pattern is unknown, it is similar to the Diamond Thumbprint. There are panels of diamonds with a small bull's eye in the center and lines separating the columns of diamonds. It has a small footed and paneled base. In the 1840s, some spill holders were advertised as cigar holders. Later, they got larger and became spoon holders.
