Interesting bottle with hands at waist... - 6/16/2006 8:08:45 AM    WUVIE   Posts: 7 Joined: 6/8/2006 Status: offline  The image below (I'm sorry it is sideways) is the bottlein question. It weighs 9.6 ounces, is just shy of 6 1/2" tallThe bottom is just a fraction under 3" wide, while thetop of the bottle is 1 1'4". The opening is 3/4" wide. There are no markings or embossing. It appears to becrudely made, heavy for it's size and has many bubbles.Under the clasped hands is an indention in the bottle atthe bottom, as well as an indention in the back, only deeper.This leads me to believe the bottle was a two part mold whichis damaged or something. Looking at the bottom of the bottle, I can see the bottle isoff center of the glass, meaning the inside of the bottle isnot centered. On the very bottom of the bottle it is slightlyindented, but then there is a slight bump in the middle aboutthe size of a quarter, slightly less. Around the bottom of the lip of the bottle, there are four tinylittle points which are all connected to a line in the glass, twoat the ends of the 'seams' and two others in the middle of those. I sure appreciate any input anyone may have.   Post #: 1

I recall seeing a bottle at a show that looked similar to yours and I think it was a master ink but I think it was cobalt. Wish I could help more. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to WUVIE) Post #: 2
