Melted or natural? - 3/1/2004 12:57:47 AM    Kim   Posts: 199 Joined: 2/25/2004 Status: offline Hi Everybody I am hoping somebody could tell me about this bottle. When you hold it in your hand it fits very well, like you could swig on it!! The indentation is on both sides and symetrical. Could this have been made like this?? I have posted some pics Regards Kim Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Status: offline This bottle has been melted to that shape in a fire, we see a lot of odd shaped bottles that are dug from tips that they burnt to stop diseases from spreading, and your bottle was probably lying between two other bottles when it was heated. I have a beer bottle melted like that, when they are burnt they are usually very damaged by two much heat but sometimes the glass was heated to just the right temperature to soften it and it takes the shape of whatever it is sitting on/between.

I thought it must have been a frie damaged bottle but I was thrown by the symetry. Are going to the Sydney National Show? I beleive it is a big event! My partner and I are thinking of going for a look. We might learn something, although the members on this forum have been most helpful. I was a little worried that the all the photos might be a bit much. regards Kim (in reply to oz-riley) Post #: 5
