I recently bought this very nice Amber Zanesville Swirl off ebay. I saw the auction just before it ended and thought it was sitting at a decent price so I through in a bid and ended up winning the auction. At what I felt was a very reasonable price. I've always liked these but never bought one because I felt they were overpriced or had money commetted to something else. So I was glad to get this one. Its a really great piece of free blown patern molded 1820s-30s glass blowing. It has a nice pleasing color and an excellent mold impression from the dip molding used to create the ribbing. A nice pontil and good base wear. And a crudely executed outwardly rolled lip. Overall just a great piece of early glass.

Matt,

Yeah usually about that price I figured its worth about $800 so for under $450 shipped I was pretty happy.

Wow, very nice piece. I will dig one of those some day, and Doug will probably go missing right after.[:(]
