Spill Holder

Object/Artifact

One clear pressed flint glass spill holder with a slight gray sheen to the glass. The pattern is unknown, but it is a series of interlocking circles. They are very crisply pressed. 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.
