Hello, I'm new here and I need help with this bottle I purchased from a estate sale. It is 12 in. tall weights 4lb. 9oz. it has the rolled top and has large pontil on bottom. Looks old but who knows. Any information would be wonderful.

this looks like a students work. there are a lot of people out there blowing glass , the art form is not dead. id say this is what this bottle is ,iv made similar when I was tacking a glass course.

HAHA[8|] Well I give that student a A+. What kind of glass do you think they used? It has a little yellow tint to it? I just gave a dollar for it so it's ok. But I won't give up on buying more glass. Thanks

Well, I had to ask - was it empontilled or just free formed and flattened against a marver table?If it was a new hand made product - I'd keep it to use as a conversation piece when I was showing and discussing bottles with another bottle nut. I have a couple hundred pieces of glass here in my bottle den, for that purpose when we have time to show and tell. RED M.

It is appears to have an open pontil and I am not so sure it is new. It has the cone shape of an old chemist beaker. That rolled lip looks applied to me. It reminds me also of a milk or food vessel. Hard to tell from pictures. Though, I have not seen any of those in my collecting days.Joel
