Hi Steven,

The mould would have been in two pieces which were placed around molten glass that had been gathered on the blowing tube and the glass then expanded by blowing to fill the mould. So the only mould marks would have been on the outside of the bottle.

Regards, Adrian.

Thanks Adrian for your explanation which make perfect sense to me. Wink

-Jason, I am jealous too, glass making is like a magic to me, I wish I could spend some time to experience it.

Have a wonderful weekend guys!

Steven
