Thanks, I can't wait get it in the mail.... It's my flea bay find of the year.... Miss marked and super cheap. I spent under $20 and that's including shipping...
I am not too sure. The guy I purchased it from lives in Jersey and purchased it at an estate sale. The base photos were blury so it's hard to tell. He did say that it had a rough spot where the blower broke it off..(pontil)..... but he did not know what base wear was. So I have to wait and see..... either way I love it.
Here's a Wheaton piece from their website. Looks similar, but several noticable differances. Thinner lillypad, ugly rigory, no threading around the lip. We'll see when it gets here. I suppose if they made one, they made more though, and in different styles.
Aaron posted that last message under my account before signing in..... oops.
That link to the glass blowing is awesome. Wheaton arts is making some very beautiful pieces the old way, paddles and all. There is a lot of cool pics and well worth the look see. The pitcher is in the mail and should be here within the next week. I'll post more photos then of the base and all.
