This 1953 amber pint flask carries some of the heaviest sea-worn patina in the collection — the kind of dark, matted blackening at the neck and rim that only comes from years compressed against sand and gravel on the ocean floor. It reads less like glassware recovered from a beach and more like something pulled from a shipwreck.
Embossing: FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR RE-USE OF THIS BOTTLE across the body, confirming production between 1935 and 1964; a 53 base stamp narrows it to 1953 specifically, with ONE PINT marked on the base.
Condition is good, with heavy all-over sea-worn patina and smooth, rounded rim wear consistent with genuine ocean tumbling. No sharp edges.
Dimensions: 7.75" H × 3.75" W × 2" D | Blackened frosted amber glass | Good sea-worn condition
Full-bottle sea glass at this scale and depth of patina is genuinely rare — works as a statement bud vase, a Dark Academia or coastal shelf centerpiece, or a standalone collector's piece where the texture rewards a closer look.
Recovered from New York City's historic shorelines and landfill sites by Brooklyn Sea Glass. Ships carefully packed.
