green antique glass
« on: February 14, 2013, 03:02:25 pm »
would anyone be able to tell me anything of this?   How often is glassware not marked?  It looks old to me.

thanks in advance

Yeah, looks like turn of the last century cased glass with a tipped pontil

hello,

thanks for the replies, and no seam (hi mart)

I know there's a lot of glass out there-but how many could actually do it?  Just wondering if I could trace it down..to the US?

its a line-or a design in the glass itself.  I could take a better pic of it if you would like.

I can see the line not only on the side but in through the bottom glass as well.

Also, is there some type of writing on the bottom or design showing through?  Pic of bottom and impressions/pic showing on top side.

in the pics it looks like a flaw--but in life it looks and feels like a design...not rough...

Okay....now the "seam" appears on the bottom and writing (appears under the green glass) is on top side of bottom!

Am I imagining it or are there letters....

Could the white glass have been formed/lettered and then the green glass put over it?

It starts with an "R" I think.
