~~~ 1840's... Black Glass ~~~

These are substantially older, European I believe. Still quite impressive. With black glass, one should not be able to readily see the light come though easily. The color always remains blackish more so.

I agree with ROBBYBOBBY64. This is an excellent window bottle in amber glass. Not black glass. Here are some black glass bottles in a window:

I believe the collector definition of "black glass" is a bit more liberal than btt claims. That definition is expanded to include the translucent shades of olive green such as a couple of the top shelf onions among those in my window picture. The extreme example of this more liberal definition is the sealed cylinder on bottom shelf (second from left).

Translucent amber, it seems, does not qualify, although there is plenty of olive-amber "black amber" glass to be seen. The little amber pocket flask is very dark amber, but it does not qualify as "black glass" -- it's just dark amber.

Here's an olive amber "black glass" bottle, a Ricketts 3 piece mold. The olive-green preserves jars I consider "black glass."

Some of these bottles look like dark and lite green glass. It's all about the lighting. You get my point !

Another photo of the same bottle with out strong natural outside lighting.

That's a great piece with some real character. Loving the color and the crudeness.
