I've loved the back and forth discussions on here about demijohn's and whether or not to remove the wicker...well I picked up 2 different demijohn's both in wicker...I could see the whittled green glass and nothing else...so I started cutting (which was such a high - waiting to see what surprises "might" be there)...well, here are picks of one of them before/after...

Great color and lots of whittle...

Here's the full bottle...

This is a 3PM (I think that's the right lingo!)....and it has the pontil mark...

Hopefully you can see in my "not so great pics" the base it sits on...not smooth at all...the first time I sat it on the table I wasn't sure it was even going to sit straight...but it did!

Marvelous!! I say it's gotta be a good feeling to rip the wicker off and find a pontiled 3 piece!! Congrats!!

I must say I WAS very excited!!! Couldn't see a thing through the bottom the wicker was so tight...I just knew it was whittled pretty good. I had a few bottles but mostly was collecting fruit jars until recently...since I have been lurking and reading/learning here I have paid a lot more attention to the bottles I already had and have been acquiring and looking for more. Sadly I have to get them from estate sales/yard sales - from being on here I want to go digging so bad I can't stand it!!!! Just the thought of not knowing what you might find intrigues me so much! From talking about "wanting" to dig...I did run in to a lady at a yard sale that has a house that she said sits on top of an old dump site...she said there is no grass and shards of glass come up in the sand all the time. They are going to be knocking this house down within the next year...I did tell her I would be free labor to "dig" and she gave me her card...now I just have to find someone in the Orlando area that digs!

But I digress...this bottle was one of about 4 boxes that I got at an estate sale about 2 weeks ago...I will be posting pics of all the ones I got there and also the ones that I have already!

Thanks for the positive replies...I'm so excited!

I think I stumbled upon what is going to be a great site...but I'm gonna need some help! My sister offered - but she knows even less than me...I know better than to show up with a plastic sandbucket and shovel - LOL - I have learned some from all the digging video's I've watched but most of them are all digging in like "real" dirt...any suggestions for digging in the sand? Now that I think about it - the loose sand can only go so deep before it's more solid...well - the lady know's I've never done it before - it's sure gonna be a learning experience! When the time comes (I'm hoping fall/winter when it's not so hot here) ...I'll let you all know and get some more advice when the time comes and I will most definitely post pics!
