<p>[QUOTE="OldWhitby, post: 3784510, member: 17301"]I've seen lots of old cruets but never one like this. I am curious to find out when an where it might have been made. You can see from the picture of the bottom that it is really thick glass. From my research I believe it was initially pressed in a mold and then the top has been gathered and shaped and the handle applied, etc. There are lots of vertical straw marks down all 4 sides and there is a rough mold release edge right around the stopper. It is wheel engraved on all 4 sides- one side has what I believe is a fly. It is 6 3/4" to the top of the stopper; the bottom is 2 1/8" square.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]316090[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]316091[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]316092[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]316093[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]316094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]316095[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]316096[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]316097[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
