Title: Sharing a Nice little Ruby-red glass snuff bottle Post by: marcos on May 17, 2016, 10:36:14 am Dear All,
I am sharing a nice little glass snuff bottle with a quartz rutilated stopper. Are there any clues that may help us to date this bottle? It measures 3.5 cm. Kindest Regards, Marcos (https://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1064.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu365%2Fmarcosrvisconti%2Fglass%2FDSC09164_zpsjhqp3v8f.jpg&hash=dc0959703288417c04087c317cfb1da7) (http://s1064.photobucket.com/user/marcosrvisconti/media/glass/DSC09164_zpsjhqp3v8f.jpg.html) (https://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1064.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu365%2Fmarcosrvisconti%2Fglass%2FDSC09165_zpss1stirn7.jpg&hash=ab1029e5e34201a1b27dc7045c4cb24d) (http://s1064.photobucket.com/user/marcosrvisconti/media/glass/DSC09165_zpss1stirn7.jpg.html) (https://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1064.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu365%2Fmarcosrvisconti%2Fglass%2FDSC09166_zpspqibro0n.jpg&hash=79df765ae461b98540084a22a201fabb) (http://s1064.photobucket.com/user/marcosrvisconti/media/glass/DSC09166_zpspqibro0n.jpg.html) (https://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1064.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu365%2Fmarcosrvisconti%2Fglass%2FDSC09167_zps5j82zoi7.jpg&hash=a37ea5ffa6c006ec51482835cedaa051) (http://s1064.photobucket.com/user/marcosrvisconti/media/glass/DSC09167_zps5j82zoi7.jpg.html) (https://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1064.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu365%2Fmarcosrvisconti%2Fglass%2FDSC09168_zpsn4vsnclx.jpg&hash=c5e6890e30f6f673bd11b4bc2b949142) (http://s1064.photobucket.com/user/marcosrvisconti/media/glass/DSC09168_zpsn4vsnclx.jpg.html) Title: Re: Sharing a Nice little Ruby-red glass snuff bottle Post by: George on May 17, 2016, 12:04:47 pm What a peculiar bottle Marcos..

I have seen similar types classed as "Imperial workshop" but not with this tear-shaped drop at the bottom.

Regards, Marcos I think that is what is left of the pontil from blowing the glass by hand.. I think we just can't recognize it from looking at the base as it has been ground flat.. |
