Description: Antique Aqua Green Glass Bottle Jar Sawyers Crystal Blueing. Measures 8 1/2" high and about 3 1/2" wide; it weighs 14 ounces. Old seedy glass with bubbles and striations. No cracks or chips - see photos. Aqua glass bottle embossed “Sawyer’s Crystal Blueing” on one side. Bluing was added to the rinse water of white fabrics, especially those items that had yellowed over time to make them appear whiter. Information about the product was recorded in a later law suit, stating that Henry Sawyer began producing his bluing in about 1864 in Boston. The Sawyer Crystal Blue Company brought the law suit against a former employee named Hubbard, who had established his own bluing business. Hubbard was not only using a similar paper label and metal cap, but refilling old, embossed Sawyer’s bottles and applying his paper label. The court ruled in favor of Sawyer and granted an injunction against Hubbard.
