<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 162036, member: 308"]I've run across a couple of pieces of early 1900's glass with similar handles. I used to think they were mistakes in the manufacturing process but now I'm starting to think that they were intentional. A slanted handle would seem less likely to be dropped than a straight handle. You would have to keep turning it, though, so it faced the right way. Perhaps a design innovation tried by a couple of different manufacturers but that never really caught on? I think I'm starting to spend way too much time thinking about these things!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
