Not bottles but nice pontil glass - 12/14/2011 6:23:20 PM    bne74honda   Posts: 365 Joined: 2/19/2004 From: Brampton, Ontario, Canada Status: offline Howdy Folks, No these are not bottles but rather appear to be coffee or tea cups, hand-blown in a wonderful deep amethyst, with pronounced open pontils. I don't really think they are that old but....I just don't know for sure. I picked them up at as local thrift store for $2 each simply because I loved the look. Have a peek at the pics and if anyone has any input, please....speak and be heard! Thanks! Brian Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I wish now I had taken all 3! The pictures don't do them justice really - they are, as you say, beautiful. Brian (in reply to Exactly_vague) Post #: 8

I'm more curious to know about yours. Worth way more than you paid with a beautiful pontil like that! < Message edited by Gromit0299 -- 12/20/2011 8:07:41 PM > _____________________________ Interested in Philadelphia medicines, infant medicines, local embossed Royersford, PA bottles and poisons.

Interesting information too - if the set was $12.95 in 1944 that would about $250 today. I guess $2 each was a steal and I'd better go back for the 3rd one! Brian (in reply to Gromit0299) Post #: 10
