<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Historic milk glass, post: 2013576, member: 14707&quot;]I’m not sure how this factors into the mix but here’s a little tidbit of info. Sometime in the 1700’s, ear glass, that being without a pontil mark obscuring the view, was taxed. I’m not sure about decorative stained glass though? Decorative Rondels, colorless or otherwise used for sidelights and in transom window details for townhouses were for the most part pontiled, again most likely due to the issue of taxation, not to mention there was no need for a clear unobstructed view; that being the case for upper glass panes on double hung or fixed placements.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
