Post by: sugarcube5419 on February 14, 2013, 05:54:00 PM: 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?

Post by: mart on February 14, 2013, 06:04:13 PM: What is that line ?? A crack ??
Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: sugarcube5419 on February 14, 2013, 06:15:32 PM: its a line-or a design in the glass itself. I could take a better pic of it if you would like.

Post by: KC on February 14, 2013, 06:18:53 PM: 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.

Post by: mart on February 14, 2013, 06:20:25 PM: Good KC !! Thought I was seeing things !! I didn`t see a design !!
Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: sugarcube5419 on February 14, 2013, 06:31:38 PM: in the pics it looks like a flaw--but in life it looks and feels like a design...not rough...
Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: KC on February 14, 2013, 06:34:42 PM: 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?

Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: Ipcress on February 14, 2013, 07:40:49 PM: You can see the letters though, right ?

Post by: mart on February 14, 2013, 07:42:33 PM: Looks like letters to me too KC !! V or H ??IL !!

Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: greenacres on February 14, 2013, 08:04:27 PM: It starts with an "R" I think.

Take images from different angles. The flash obviously helps as it appears to be moulded.

I will take more pics
Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: mart on February 14, 2013, 08:25:04 PM: Thats the best idea I had !! LOL !!
Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: sugarcube5419 on February 14, 2013, 08:33:01 PM: here's 4 more of just the bottom, I turned it each pic--also-why is it so rough on the bottom do you think?
Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: greenacres on February 14, 2013, 08:51:21 PM: Take any kind of oil and rub the bottom and the whit will disappear. I learned that a bottle show. You'll be able to see things clearer.
Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: sugarcube5419 on February 14, 2013, 08:55:22 PM: GREAT idea....will do
Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: Ipcress on February 14, 2013, 08:56:38 PM: Its almost as if someone has used a bottle base for it. Like end of day or something.

Image needed directly above the letters.
Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: mart on February 14, 2013, 09:06:30 PM: Just my opinion but I think this is from the 60`s art glass era and may have been sold as a "second" due to the inperfections !!
Title: Re: green antique glass
Post by: sugarcube5419 on February 14, 2013, 09:22:01 PM: ok, no problem if its seconds, I like its look being off centered

kind of like me.

smile at you guys.

I could take more pics but I doubt I will be able to get better or. closer pics...the mystery remains

thanks for the interest on this piece.
