Early Mdina Sidestripe I think.
« on: July 08, 2012, 04:10:43 PM »
Pleased to find this at my local auction. I think it may be an early example. Well I am pretty sure it is but would love someone to agree with me. :)

Has rippled sides and is slightly wonky. Also has an interesting hairy inclusion!

I think it might be part of MHs beard.  ;)

You will have to trust me on its existence. Hard to photograph.

Hair melts and burns at a very low temperature.  :-\
It's a slightly tall buttony shaped rim but I think it's just a variation.  ;D

Yes I realise that hair melts I was only jesting. It actually looks like a grey splodge with tendrils. As inclusions go it rates among one of the more interesting I have seen.

A variation on an early sidestripe or a variation on a later sidestripe?

I thought way the sides practically disappear at the top was a good pointer to it being early as well as the button rim?

Also it is very round.

A variation on an early button rim. I'd think that's correct. Given the wonkiness and wigglyness, and the cloudy colouring it's unlikely to be a late variation tending towards a perfume-bottle-raised-rounded-rim.
I've never heard of anything about thicknesses of the stripes though - coloured ones are scarce, and...and... I don't have one with coloured stripes and that's all I know... mutter... grumble...  ;)

Bulbous and vertically challenged with a button rim? Has to be fairly early I would think. ;D

Any chance of a photo with some light behind it, maybe on a windowsill?

This one has considerably more light passing through.
