* embossed backstamp. This beauty is 7 ¼ inches tall (without the cork), approximately 1 ½ inches in diameter at it’s top, 2 ¼ inches at the bottom, and weighs 10-3/8 ounces.  It holds 12 fluid ounces comfortably.  The condition is very nice with a few tiny scratches, scuffs and dings, also splotchy iridescent looking shine on the dark color (flaw?).  My pictures do not do it justice – the flash amplified every little blemish, but it’s really all very minor.  According to my research, Blue Mountain Pottery started in 1953 in Collingwood, Ontario and closed in 2004. They were one of Canada’s largest potteries.  Thanks for looking!
