Hello all you different collectors. I am mainly interested in glass items that talk to me about how they were made. The study of these marks helped me trace the changes in the production method changes. These things involved the making of the parison shape that was responsible for the distribution of the glass thickness in every part of each bottle made. The things like marks of venting, texture in the glass, marks made on the glass by the development and changes of creating different mold assemblies and keying them into making good products, makers marks, mold cavity repairs and many different applied glass for finishes, decoration or performance - all became interesting studies for me. So bottle mysteries are what I look for. RED Matthews
