At the Norman C. Heckler & Company auction house in Woodstock Valley, CT, March 2010 a bottle record was shattered. A rare deep sapphire blue, ca.1820, flask-form bottle General Washington and bust – T.W.D. and eagle portrait from Kensington Glass Works in Philadelphia soared to $100,620 on a $40k-$80k estimate (see Maine Antique Digest, June 2010, p.24B).
