    Two Handled Demijohn

    Thank you Harry for your comments (second time) Thought I would show a less dramatic photo of the demi, color is more natural, less pronoused, just in case you were influenced by the earlier photos to compare the glass with modern Mexican gl. clowns? If not, can you provide a clown photo...

    Two Handled Demijohn

    Thanks nhpharm, I still think it is a non utilitarian piece, there is no signs of usage, as I mention the glass is very unusually thick, up to 1/2". Empty, the demi weights app. 20lbs., can't image the weight filled with liquids? One unusual detail is the raised wide band mold seam which ends at...

    Two Handled Demijohn

    Thanks LisaH for the fire works inspired compliment. Actually "Harry Pristis" was one of the contacts in the first attempt to ID. several years ago. If my memory serves me well, he was on the positive side that it was not a modern reproduction.

    Wistarburgh medicine vial and a cylinder small utility bottle.

    Thanks, was wondering if the Steve's were one and the same, actually several weeks ago tried contacting through his website & direct emails with no replies. Have had email replies from Hank Flowers, he has been very generous with his knowledge.

    Wistarburgh Glass ID. Thank you Harry, just the informed quality of info. I have been looking for, my early gl. blowing procedures is limited. Now with no pontil or any trace of a polished pontil & the "snap tools" didn't appear in North America until early 1800's. IF my bottle is 18th cent...

    Wistarburgh medicine vial and a cylinder small utility bottle.

    Wistarburgh Glass ID. Yes, the bottle was found in Maine app. 12 years ago. What I first thought was a large bubble on the bottom Now I believe it is a polished pontil scar that was enclosed in glass by (German connection) the double dipping of the bottom section. The gl. thickness is...
