Are slick pontils very valuable? I bought one very cheap and was suprised as it has no conditon issues other than plainess. Its great for me as I have no pontiled bottles. I bought it for 5 bucks at my local flea market. Its a beauty even though its slick. All kinds of crude. Its probably 5 inches tall.

Not very valuable, but certainly better than non pontiled ones. If it's crude, I'd be happy with $5 for it. They look really nice, anyway.

Generally you can get unremarkable dug ones for a couple bucks. Ones with odd shapes, bigger size, good color, etc etc bring more money. There were a lot of them made so the supply is greater than demand.

Ya pontiled only covers one consideration in bottle value, as does condition, but there are still more criteria..
