donalddarneille you have a couple of nice demijohns in your picture.I Like the aqua green one.
The dog bottle was a local South Jersey find.
It had been in the same family for over 150 years.
It was a gift possibly from one of the glass blowers at Wistarburgh to a family member.
I have seen only one other of these bottles in the last ten years and that was at a Glass Works auction.
I was very fortunate to aquire this bottle being in the right place at the oppertune time had a lot to do with it.

Hmm,....right dear,[]....That would've been the early eightys.....But I dug that dump at least two to three times a week for years, and even though wonderful and, not dug or seen by me since stuff came outa there, (It was one of Bradford's city dumps) I'd still say, knowing what I know now, those two bottles were late throws.... It'd be awesome to get back into the good part of that dump! Steve, that would be really cool if the green bottle were that old....Thanks for the ongoing education. Joe

I Like the aqua green one.

Thanks Steve, that green one is pretty awesome. Applied lip, hammered whittle and orange peel, and a huge gnarly pontil scar. I took it in as a part trade a few months back and was going to sell it at the next show, but hav'nt wanted to move it off that shelf since I got it home......

These are two of my favorite. One has a very delicate flared pouring lip and is very whittled. The other is 3 part mold. I love the colors though you have to hold them up to a very strong light. Don't really know what to call the color of the one with the pouring lip...sort of a dark rootbeer color with some plum in it. The other is a very dark purple. I have tried everything to get a picture of the color to no avail.

Melinda,...considering how dark colored that glass is, I think you captured it well,....very pretty colors and bottles. Joe

Those are beautiful, Melinda. I can see the purple in your bottle. I have a tiny bottle that is the same; black purple that you can only see well in the light. If you want to, try holding the bottle to the light and taking a picture through the mouth of the bottle. You might need to take it at a slight angle, but after a few tries, you'll get one.

Thanks for the info, Steve. At those prices, I'll look on ebay and see what's available.
