Hi All -
I picked up this open pontil bottle last weekend at a local shop. I don't collect pontils in general but this one caught my eye. It's 6.5 inches tall, 1.75 inches across the base and nearly 2 inches across the shoulder. The glass is very thin through the body and neck and has a slight aqua tint. It also leans a little to one side. I was curious as to the purpose of this bottle - it's really quite delicate and also amazing that it has made it through all these years without any damage! Any info would be appreciated.
