Antique Cobalt Blue Pressed Glass Boot with Figural Squirrel Head

Antique cobalt blue pressed glass novelty boot featuring a molded squirrel head applied at the top front of the boot. The body is richly decorated with repeating starburst and geometric cut patterns, characteristic of late Victorian to early 20th-century pressed glass design. The sculpted squirrel head, with defined eyes, ears, and snout, adds a whimsical figural element that distinguishes this piece from more common plain glass boot forms.

Produced as a decorative novelty or spill holder, this type of figural pressed glass was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was often displayed on mantelpieces or sideboards. The deep cobalt coloration and detailed molding give the piece strong visual impact, especially when light passes through the glass. Unmarked, as is typical for pressed novelty glass of this era.
