Side pontil

I agree, certainly an anomaly....... in that particular instant the pontil guy must not have been able to stick it on the usual spot, so they had to improvise and grab it from the side.......perhaps caused by some mold problem, stayed in too long, glass blockage on the bottom of the mold?

I think (hope) that the OP is calling this a "side pontil" in jest.

assuming that bottle is smooth base? There may have been some glass stuck to the snap case which came off on the bottle. There is always stray glass all over the place in glass making shops.

pretty sure they are all joking about the "side pontil" ... i hope..

ummm, side pontil was a joke. I think Matt and Jeff live too far out in the wilderness to understand sarcasm. Of course bears and deer are so serious all the time.

yea but it looks like a side pontil

we are just shell shocked by all the ridiculous things that have already become bottle myths[]
dont be surprised if you start seeing ultra rare side pontils being advertised on fleabay.

I enjoy it out in the wilderness, less rats and cockroaches.

I'm pretty sure the snap case held the bottle higher up on the body.
My guess is that there was some debris in the mold from a previous use
that reacted badly with the hot gather.

or they touched some loose shards on the floor with the parison before starting the blow
hard to tell without handling it.

Never can tell around here - there's been lots of bad info promoted as the gospel[]

Too True.


Just remember everything I say is the gospel and you all will be fine.
