<p>[QUOTE="Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 177810, member: 90"]I know very little about collecting glass except for the basics. Everyone here has given wonderful responses but very little guidance. So here is a hint for the future. Notice that seam along the bottle where the handle is located. That seam indicates that the bottle was made in a two part mold. Eighteenth century bottles were not mold-made but rather hand-blown. An indication of a hand-blown bottle would be the pontil on the base. A pontil is the scar that remains where the blow-pipe met the molten glass and was then separated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
