How much do pontil chips take away from the value of a bottle, if at all?
I agree that it shouldn't make ANY difference and as a Flask collector it doesn't matter a whit to me as it is an "in manufacturing feature" to me. There ARE those that it matters a great deal to. It is a matter of: "to each his own". As the duck says, a crack is a different issue altogether.ORIGINAL: sloughduck
From my point of view,they shouldn't as the pontil is where the rod was broken off.Only problem I could see is if the snapping off produced a crack in the base.
Absolutely, positively.ORIGINAL: AntiqueMeds
in any case it should still be mentioned in the description if you are selling a bottle.
