Now look close on this one the neatest stone formation I have ever seen,I will try and take a picture outside in the daylight tomorrow.A snowflake like crystal has formed. It is located on the bottom middle area just to the right of dead center. Has anyone ever seen one like this before.

Potstones don't "form",As we all know the main glass ingredient is sand,sometimes there would be a few small pebbles in the sand or some of the larger peices of sand didn't get melted all the way when they made the glass batch,so when they blew the bottle the sand or pebbles would be stuck in the walls,base,where ever of the bottle.
