Adrian,
Thanks for sharing this. I’m wondering if the tube wasn’t added later as some sort of reinforcing repair? Looks like your lip was damaged at some point?
Also, want to ask you about brick dust, if I bottle is scratched say on the lip, and contained brick dust, would it show orange? My brother has a bottle like this, and I wondered if this showed it was made out of some sort of ceramic or if it’s what you’re describing? I’ll try and dig up a pic.
Cheers,
Rube
