T W Dyott

[Steve/sewell]

Here is a group shot of the early 1821 to 1828 Dyott flasks.
I will post at a later date individual pictures and descriptions of each Flask.

Were his bottles always clear or aqua?

 

[Steve/sewell]

Like any early glass works Melinda their main output was aqua, clear.They did make some of the fancy flasks in
Dark and light blues, ambers,yellows,citron,Emerald greens.Unfortunatley for me I can ony occasionally afford
the 350.00 to 550.00 versions of the historical flasks.The rare color examples bring 3,4,10,15,000 depending on the flask
rarity.I need four to go to have everything attributed to Dyotts early Kennsington glass works.If I even thought about
purchasing a flask for 3 or 4 thousand I would be in Divorce court the next day.[][]

I know what you mean. My husband is not a collector of anything but he puts up with my crazy collecting. Out of respect to him and the fact that he is the bread winner in the family I do not feel I can spend a lot on a bottle....and three kids in college next year..ouch. Maybe when I get up to Wisconsin I can find some good bottles. I still want to dig some one day...

Good work Steve, I've always had a great interest in T W Dyott.
At one point in my collecting, I started to make an attempt to
acquire an example of each type of bottle and flask that was
manufactured at the Dyottville Glass Works. I'm very impressed looking at your acquisitions, an almost complete representation of
all types manufactured at Dyotts glass works. You have done an
excellent job. I should have maintained my momentum and continued the task myself. I've always had a problem keeping
focused in one area. I probably need medication. Once again, my compliments for an outstanding job. Greg
