For comparison, here's a base that was excavated at Mt. Vernon a couple of years ago. It's 3 inches in diameter with a 1" dia. pontil. Brian Attachment (1) (in reply to CazDigger) Post #: 102

The glass is very thick. Yours looks to me like a larger utility/ink type cylinder. (in reply to wolffbp) Post #: 103

RE: Some color on a winter day - 2/14/2011 9:47:56 PM    CazDigger Posts: 584 Joined: 6/26/2005 From: Central NY State Status: offline It is probably the same style, different mold. I have shards from at least 3 diff sizes of ale/porter/min. waters with that flat base rim similar to the bottle I dug. Some are big like the 3pm quart John Clarke mineral water. I also have some that are tapered in from the rim without that flat part. (in reply to wolffbp) Post #: 105

That is an extrememly thick base, and probably would have been an ale or porter. Funny, all of the examples that I have are with an early sand chip pontil or a later iron pontil. The only 3" bases that I could find with the same 1" tubular pontil were these utilities... Mike Attachment (1) (in reply to CazDigger) Post #: 106
