Thanks, that makes sense. It looks like a quality, but not particularly old, piece. Pairpoint makes sense. They made some pretty good stuff.

That was commissioned by the Pitkin Glassworks Assoc. to be blown at Pairpoint for I think it was the 200 year anniversary of the Pitkins start up date. They blew these amber inks and a pitkin type flask in a teal color. They are extremely well made in the same half-post method the Pitkins used originally. they weren`t made to deceive, but eventually some people will wonder if they are old or not. If I remember right they had them made as a fund raiser for the group, which is dedicated to preserving the remains of the Pitkin Glassworks, which is in Manchester, CT, my hometown. I hope that sheds some light on the subject!
