Hopkins & Co. Milwaukee (quart)

This is a twelve sided quart antique clay soda bottle from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The stamp reads HOKINS & CO. It is one of the premier Milwaukee pottery bottles due to its age and rarity. It was made in the 1850's. William Hopkins also used glass bottles for soda and there are several varieties of cobalt pontiled soda from his bottling works. There are only a couple of examples of this bottle known at this time.
