<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 9446583, member: 76316&quot;]~8&quot; high, ~3 3/4&quot; X ~2 7/8&quot; cross section; weight ~21 3/4 oz. I haven&#039;t confirmed capacity, but easily a full liter.</p><p>It&#039;s not been free-blown, as the sides are remarkably flat, but there are no discernible mold lines at the corners or the bottom edges. There&#039;s a pot-stone that seems to show that the walls are fairly thin. The upper face of the lip shows some tooling; the throat an&#039; stopper are ground, but form a very poor fit. </p><p>What attracted me immediately was the symmetry, the uniformity of the transition from slab-sides to gracefully rounded shoulders...an&#039; the hint of purple in the glass, though there is no reaction to UV light.</p><p>I would sure like to know more about this; when &amp; where made, if that&#039;s obvious from its appearance, an&#039; what it&#039;s shape may be called.</p><p>Incidental to that, something I&#039;ve been curious about but never pursued: When is a bottle a flask? What criteria defines one from the other?</p><p>Thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]439226[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439227[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439228[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439229[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439230[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439231[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439233[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439234[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439235[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439236[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
