Thought it was black glass at first, turns out it is a dark olive amber.

From what I noticed it seems most black glass is not actually black, but just so dark (dark green, dark amber ect., ect,.) that people call it Black Glass because at first it may appear Black until held up to light. LEON.


P.S. some may call yours black glass?

Leon, you are right on the mark! An absolute certainty, there is few true Black glass bottles, except for modern liquor bottles and art glass

It's a very nice bottle planeguy2! does it have the pale blue refired graphite pontil or open pontil or smooth gently kicked up base?
