I hope someone can shed light on this for me.
Lately I've been seeing some oddly colored bottles on eBay, and I am uncertain whether the colors are natural. I know that the ultra-deep purples are almost certainly bottles with manganese glass that have been heavily "nuked" with UV. But I have also seen an extreme teal Bixby ink and an extreme teal Carters ink. The colors do not look natural, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I, personally, am surprised by the vividness of the colors. Is the information age merely allowing me to view some of the very rare bottles that I would normally never see or are unscrupulous sellers somehow altering their wares?
Thanks!
diggrrr!
