MYSTERY DECANTERS #1 - 1/26/2005 12:23:54 PM    rromage   Posts: 19 Joined: 1/26/2005 Status: offline Hello, I'm new here but am fascinated with this site. Can anyone here identify the bottles/decanters in this photo. They definately date to the mid 1960's or before. They also should be over 12 inches tall. Thanks < Message edited by rromage -- 8/1/2006 10:41:54 AM > Post #: 1

Can't tell without size if decanter or cosmetic bottles, here is an example of a perfume. Perfume, green glass cube top and Sq. green glass body, fluted corners $65.00 Dave (in reply to rromage) Post #: 2

I don't think it would be a good idea for that to be alcohol..imagine how dangerous it would be to handle those while drunk! (in reply to rromage) Post #: 3

Most Blenko I am familiar with is also brightly colored glass. _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

RE: Mystery Deanters - 8/11/2005 8:25:03 PM    rromage   Posts: 19 Joined: 1/26/2005 Status: offline Whiskeyman, Again, thanks for coming to my aide! I'm a newbie and am not sure what a pontil is. Does it have something to do with the mouth or opening? Also, does Blenko refer to a type of glass or a manufacturer name? Thanks for the education!! Best, rromage (in reply to rromage) Post #: 10

RE: Mystery Deanters - 8/11/2005 8:31:07 PM    Tony14 Posts: 2477 Joined: 2/15/2005 From: Fond du Lac, Wisconsin Status: offline A pontil is a rough circle on the base of a bottle that was used in the mid 1800's to make the bottles. Look at these examples. Good luck finding info on your bottles. http://www.blm.gov/historic_bottles/mouthblowndating.htm#Question%204 (in reply to rromage) Post #: 11

Whiskeyman, Truthfully, I don't know if it has a pontil. I do however, think that it is probably made of crystal if that helps. You guys are great, rromage (in reply to rromage) Post #: 12

RE: Mystery Deanters - 8/11/2005 10:44:31 PM    rromage   Posts: 19 Joined: 1/26/2005 Status: offline Thanks for the advise Tony14, but I don't have the bottles at all. I only have a few pics, none of which show the bottom unfortunately. I figure if I can identify them then I might find some for sale. I'd like to add them to my collection rromage (in reply to rromage) Post #: 15

RE: Mystery Deanters - 8/12/2005 12:00:38 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 2020 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline RROMAGE...Blenko is a glass company that made all types of colorful blown art glass: bowls, decanters, cruets, vases,etc...While your decanters may be crystal, I don't think they're Blenko but probably some import glassware, maybe French or Czecholslovakian...They may even be Baccarat...Search Google.com for Blenko & Baccarat and all kinds of sites can be found for browsing.

RE: Mystery Deanters - 9/5/2005 7:59:37 AM    monalisa Posts: 104 Joined: 8/21/2005 Status: offline hey all: I can't tell, but do the stoppers/application tip reach into the bottle? Many high-end perfume glass bottles/makers have the stopper/applier which dips several inches into the bottle. This may help you identify a maker and or their value.
