RE: English Black Glass or Dutch ? - 7/6/2010 7:34:16 PM    daltonbottles   Posts: 54 Joined: 5/11/2010 Status: offline Sniped one of my rarer black glass bottles off eBay this past week.  It's a half-sized longneck Continental mallet that measures only 8.5 inches in height, with the neck making up 5 inches of the total length.  Width at base is only 3.25 inches.  There were a couple of these in the Cosbert Collection, but nothing this short in body or total length.  Haven't decided yet if it's Belgian, German, or French.  The symmetrical string collar and lack of major lip flair leans me away from Dutch, and the color is a much deeper forest green than normally seen on Dutch glass.  The glass is also thicker, more like Belgian and German pieces.  It's free-blown, asymmetrical in cross-section and obviously not blown in a dip mold, so I tend to think it is likely an early cylindrical form made between 1730 and 1760.  You just never know what is going to pop up on eBay.

It is round, about 20" tall and 16" wide with a string lip and no pontil. Any knowlegable input about its age and location of manufacture would be appreciated. THANKS!
