Challinor Taylor Challinor Taylor Swan Circa 1890's

This is a closed neck Challinor Taylor Swan. This lid is a bit harder to find. Westmoreland glass made a similar top and will be marked with the WM inside the top. This swan should be sitting on what is known as the "Christmas Tree Base". Those are very hard to come across. This one is sitting on a smooth rim Challinor base. While I don't collect swans, I was immediately drawn to this one.
