Tornado in a bottle

[Ye Olde Prospector]

My son gave me this pontiled ink he dug a while back. The outside was really sick but you could make out this string of glass inside. Finally decided to get the outside tumbled hoping the inner surfaces were in better shape. Turned out great. Interesting glass tornado inside.

Hey that is a great bottle, that glass tornado is that a wipe for knocking off the excess ink on a pen?

Beautiful! I like those strange and wonderful strings of glass that occasionally occur during the blowing process. It's even more amazing that they have remained intact through all the subsequent years. Don't lrt that one get away, YOP.

Hey Cliff, You come up with some of the most interestingly weird bottles I have ever seen. Keep up the good work.[]

Quite a unique bottle you have there. I have a common aqua bitters bottle and I forget the name but it has a string of glass on the inside that starts at one point and comes out like a “U†and then reattaches. There is actually a hollow air gap between where it starts and stops. Hard to explain right now. Tomorrow I will get a picture if it and the name for you all to see. It’s pretty amazing and I have no idea how it occurred.
