Harry, what do you make of the pontil on the painted jar?

odd looking and not one I've seen.

some photos from the February 2014 new jersey bottle show

It's a phenomenon of lighting. The glass scar has so many glass crumbs, so many reflections, that it appears white in the image. The jar is good.

Nice glass Privyprowler, I like the back lighting.

Here is a very rare dome ink from Granite Glass Works. I hunt and collect Stoddard Glass and this was quite the find. It has some nice base wear and whittle.
The bottle top was found at the glass works, with the coolest glass thread that goes around down the neck, can you imagine what a cool bottle that would look like. Still porn worthy.

Love the glass that came out of Granite Glass Works. If I recall, Granite was only
in business for a few years till it burned down... that is one beautiful ink.
that shard is really cool. and no, I can't imagine what that bottle looked like...but I would sure like to find out !!

Thanks for the close up of the pontil Harry. an awesome piece.

When I get to the bottle shows I try to get photos of the displays.

gives me ideas on what I want to target when I get the opportunity to buy.

Cool dome ink bottle, coldwater diver!

Do you have Stoddard demijohns in your collection? I think of this one as being made in Stoddard, but I can't be absolutely sure:

Hi Privy the Glass works burnt down in 1846 the first year in business. They rebuilt the very next year. I have been diving the site for years and have found some great items there. Most items are discards I assume from quality control. I have found many cool shards and rarities. This particular ink Ive only seen three so far and I found two. It being unmarked can make identifying origin difficult, however finding it and shards at the site makes it probable it was blown at Granite Glass. This one was actually blown and used a bit due to the base wear (probably writing invoices to Pike and Osgoods, Chapmans, Levitts, Dr Swetts, G.W.Stone etc....) . Harry I don't have any demi johns, and the bases I have found there all seem to have a sand pontil base.

Below is a one of a kind Granite Glass end of day piece, not sure if its called a globular. It is an amazing bottle found on site years ago.

You make me want to start taking diving lessons coldwater! I live extremely close to the Susquehanna, which was litterd with indian tribes all the way up to the early 1800's. Curiosity has had the best of me for years of what might be under that water!!
