<p>[QUOTE="George Nesmith, post: 308360, member: 177"]I am referring to your piece but the Ruby Lane is part of the line so both. Cruets are pressed upside down to create a smooth interior and neck opening. Excess glass is left at the bottom when the plunger is removed which is tooled over to close the bottom. Any remaining glass is cutoff sometimes leaving a bump or pig tail. This can be ground off and polished like your cruet. There is no reason to stick this on a pontile rod as it was pressed in one piece. The two marks look very similar and when finished like yours you only can tell the difference by understanding the manufacturing process. These patterns are not mold blown because the interior would have bumps where the glass followed the pattern and be more difficult to clean and also more expensive to produce.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
