Antique Boston Massachusetts souvenir Custard Glass mug Heisey Ivorina Verde

Description

Lovely souvenir cup from Boston made by Heisey Glass.  This cup is custard glass, which Heisey called “Ivorina Verde” glass, a milky-yellow uranium glass.   It was made in the early years of Heisey’s history, which started producing glass in the late 1800s.  The pattern is similar to their “Punty Band” with punts alternating with starbursts in a band along the bottom.  This piece is unmarked.
It measures 3.25 inches high, 2.5 inches across, and 3.75 inches wide with handle.
In good condition for its age.  It used to have a gold band around the top, which is mostly gone. The printed (it is not hand painted) lettering is in good condition with just a bit of paint loss.  It has typical mold markings and other irregularities of Victorian glass.  Some small flea bites on the bottom and along the mold marks on the handle. It has a crack in the handle that seems to be from the manufacturing process and doesn’t affect its stability. Some ash inclusion inside.
