its an early reproduction... These were either made in Czechoslovakia or were one of the earliest clevenger attempt... there is some documentation out there on them. I picked a few nice bottles in the sale, if I had had more money I would of picked up most of them!

I am firmly on the reproduction train as well. Still a fun discussion piece!

Reminds me of the Albany Glass Works 1/2 pints blown in plaster molds.

ORIGINAL: kungfufighter

Reminds me of the Albany Glass Works 1/2 pints blown in plaster molds.

Plaster holds some water on a atomic scale and when exposed to the extreme heat of molten glass this water is released in the form of steam causing the very pebbly and undefined surface. Heated metallic molds create a much sharper defined image on glass.

Everything everyone says makes a whole lot of sense when you step back and look at the flask rationally.Thanks Tigue710,Jeff,Mike and Chris for your thoughts.Heck it was in a museum,it is a cool looking bottle.I picked up all of the Lacy salts in that auction,well worth it,one is rated as extremely rare and another as unique by Neals.
