RE: Quilled Flask - 7/5/2010 9:29:57 PM    potstone   Posts: 428 Joined: 12/11/2007 From: South Eastern PA Status: offline I have looked through dozens of reference books and I can't validate my first thoughts of a English manufacture. I have found reference with a few early American flask with the diamond pattern in clear glass but  not with the rigarees. I know decorated flask were manufactured here but at this point I have not been successful. (in reply to whiskeyman) Post #: 9

RE: Quilled Flask - 7/6/2010 3:13:32 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2420 Joined: 4/17/2005 Status: offline Potstone...I checked in Stiegel Glass, The Glass Gaffers of NJ , and in American Glass Vol.1 Blown & Molded before I saw anything faintly resembling this flask..and it may be the same you note...pg 210 15 Diamond pattern in clear minus any rigaree/quilling. Attributed to Mantua Glass Wks. Another thing I noted: all flasks I saw in the above books, that had quilling (some on 4 sides)...the applied glass ended in a thin point near the neck/shoulder area...and not as a large elaborate glob such as yours has. still looking........

RE: Quilled Flask - 7/6/2010 5:38:09 PM    potstone   Posts: 428 Joined: 12/11/2007 From: South Eastern PA Status: offline Charlie, Thanks for your post. Your right about the elaborate glob, it throws a wrench in to the mix. To be honest, the glob does not look bad when the flask is in hand, but the pics seem to exaggerate the form and create a somewhat bad appearance. If you see anything that you think may be close, I would appreciate your expertise. Thanks, Greg (in reply to whiskeyman) Post #: 11
