Antique Handblown Glass Hip Flask with Leather Cover california art pottery Patented in 1889This hip flask is very old, possibly dating from as early as the late 18th century. Made of very thick handblown glass, it is protected by a wonderfully worn leather cover, stitched together at the sides.

The flask measures 5 3 4" tall x 3" wide by 1 1 2" deep. The leather top has lost some of its stitching,
