About the Item
Rare 1915 “Ice Blue” Coca-Cola Bottle Embossed, Reed Glass, Patent Nov. 16, 1915
A beautifully preserved and exceptionally rare example of early Coca-Cola bottle design, this 1915 “ice blue” glass bottle stands out for its distinctive pale blue hue, a striking departure from the classic green tones most often associated with vintage Coca-Cola bottles.
Embossed with the script Coca-Cola logo front and center, the bottle bears the inscription:
“Trade Mark Registered / Bottle Pat’d Nov. 16, 1915”, the hallmark of the first officially patented contour bottle design. The lower side is marked “Reed” and “20,” while the base remains unmarked.
This example was manufactured by the Reed Glass Company, one of the earliest authorized producers of Coca-Cola’s patented contour bottles. The November 16, 1915 patent marks a pivotal moment in the company’s history, the year Coca-Cola adopted its now-iconic “hobble-skirt” or “Mae West” shape, designed to be recognizable even in the dark or when shattered.
What makes this particular bottle so special is its rare ice-blue coloration. While Coca-Cola’s signature glass color is “Georgia Green,” occasional batches were made in shades of blue due to variations in sand composition and mineral content used by individual glass manufacturers. These blue examples are highly sought after by collectors for their beauty, scarcity, and early production date.
Condition:
For being over 110 years old, this bottle is in remarkable condition. There is a single small chip on the lower side, and expected wear to the base consistent with age and use. A small 1/8-inch bubble in the lip is original to the manufacturing process and not a flaw. The glass retains a rich sheen and crisp embossing throughout.
Early Coca-Cola bottles are among the most collectible pieces of American advertising history. The 1915 patent bottles represent the transition from generic soda bottles to one of the most recognizable forms in the world. Examples in nonstandard colors, especially ice blue, are prized by collectors for their rarity and aesthetic appeal.
A stunning survivor and a true piece of American industrial design, this 1915 ice-blue Coca-Cola bottle captures the innovation, charm, and visual legacy of one of the world’s most iconic brands.

1935 Pristine Art Deco Blue Hall China Ceramic Refrigerator Pitcher with Lid

Located in Red Lion, PA
1935 Art Deco Blue Hall China Refrigerator Pitcher with Lid – Made for Westinghouse, Museum Quality
An exceptional example of American Art Deco kitchenware, this 1935 Art Deco refrigerator water pitcher was made exclusively for Westinghouse by the renowned Hall China Company of East Liverpool, Ohio. Stamped clearly on the base, the mark reads: “Made Exclusively for WESTINGHOUSE By / The Hall China Co. MADE IN U.S.A.”—a detail that speaks to the collaboration between innovative appliance manufacturers and American ceramic producers during the golden age of modern design.
This pitcher showcases a curved geometric Art Deco silhouette, with smooth, streamlined contours and a functional yet elegant matching lid, both finished in a rich, vibrant solid blue glaze. The style reflects the modernist ideals of the period—sleek, stylish, and made for the evolving needs of 1930s households as refrigeration became a staple in American homes.
Produced as part of a specialized line of refrigerator ware for Westinghouse, this pitcher would have been used to store and serve chilled water. Hall also created a range of complementary pieces, including leftover containers in coordinating styles and colors, making this part of a now highly collectible and historically significant body of work.
What sets this piece apart is its pristine, museum-quality condition—appearing completely unused, with no chips, cracks, crazing, or signs of wear except the most minimal wear at the base. It's a truly rare find for collectors of vintage Hall China...
