does anyone recognise this TOP HAT?
scimowser:
hi there everyone, im new to the site but a member is a good friend of mine and strongly recommended it to me. I was wondering if anyone knew what make this glass top hat i have is? Its approx. 2.5" high and 4" wide, with bubbles inside the glass. I know it isnt whitefriars but im interested to find out as i cant find it anywhere on the web.
The bubble patterns are quite regular, and the pics are from my webcam as my digital camera has been "misplaced" lol
the base is smooth with a convex indent in the centre, I will take better pics when i can.
Any help is much appreciated, thankyou

just for your reference: here is a top hat with a nailsea attribution.

Well, it's in the same shape as Nailsea but I don't think it is.
It says in Miller's "Glass of the '50's & '60's" that this trapped air bubble technic was used throughout the 20th century. Nailsea Glasshouse in Bristol operated 1788-1873 so we can rule that out.
Scimowser's hat probably doesn't have an un-ground pontil mark anyway.
