Bennington glazed brick.

[ROBBYBOBBY64]

I first thought it was a hot water bottle of some kind but i soon realized after picking up that was not the case. It sure is the same color as Bennington. It is a glazed brick but other than two dots in the sunken side panels, there is no markings anywhere. It has two glazed sides including the curve. Dimensions are 9"×4"×3" Ever see anything like this. It is solid, heavy and appears to be brown glazed pressed brick of some kind. Glaze is crazed but still smooth as can be. It will make a wonderful door stop. It can be stood vertically on end or horizontally. What do you think?

My folks fireplace is built with glazed bricks similar to this. Theirs are green glazed.

Yes, or thinking outdoor architectural; storefront / other building facade. Might yet be a building in the neighborhood thusly fronted; not likely. Glazing vertical, too slippery for walking upon. Heavy duty; so maybe less likely to be interior; fireplace / kitchen / bathroom. Seems not to have been used - clean contact surfaces, no adhering cement. Very nice door stop. Or find 600 more and build Ye Olde Bottle Museum.

It might mean something, with regard to its intended placement in a structure, that that there is a concavity, to hold cement, only on the larger sides. Does this indicate the stacking surface, which I suppose it should be, since it is the side with the largest area and so makes a more stable stack -- than 'small-side-on-small-side' or 'end-on-end".

An example: not tiles stuck to a masonry base, but blocks of glazed masonry. Note the broken blocks, upper right.
(They filled in the door! I hope there was no-one inside! For how long can one survive on wine alone? (Does the prisoner care?))

Now that's a store front! They don't make it like they used to. I would love a fire place of this brick. Green must look amazing. Thanks for the reply and the humor.
