Glass / Re: pressed decanters.
« Last post by Paul S. on August 27, 2024, 07:26:41 AM »
thanks Anne  -  as you can see from my P.S., I did finally manage to read the Reg. No. for the middle bottle and agree it is Cottle 744629.              Should obviously read my own previous posts - I notice that the stopper on my example in the link (from 2013, and now gone), has a mushroom stopper, whereas this most recent example has a spire design, and notice that Fred's example of 744629 also had a spire, though the mushroom pattern is perhaps more appropriate for the period.
I'll try again to read details under the right hand example - though I don't think it's going to be legible.              As for the shape of the right hand bottle - possibly it's some form of 'taper' ?  -  and
will be interesting if you are able to confirm this one was also a Cottle invention.

Middle one is JC Cottle, see here Paul https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,52779.0.html. I seem to recall the right hand one is Cottle as well, I think I have one like it somewhere.

This is my blue jug Paul. It's a fabulous peacock sort of blue with the mirror base. I love it! The clear one looks rather dowdy beside it but it isn't really, it also has the shiny mirror base.

You're welcome, happy to help.

Hollow blown decanter stoppers have been known to mist internally. I don't think this is deliberate.

I agree with Cagney and Ekimp that this is a possible answer - and I know nothing about this era of glass. 
However, just to add that opalescence in glass does actually look 'streaky' or 'patchy' - it isn't a uniform colour if you see what I mean.

My money is on clouding. In your second photograph the clouding (or whatever) looks a bit patchy. If you have a look with a x10 loupe it should be clear if it’s just clouding on the inside surface.

I think the stem has been blown in opalescent glass then cased in clear.
As I say, I don't know anything about the making of these types of very old items but I guess it could haeve an applied bowl and an applied foot i.e. made in three pieces, with the stem being made decoratively and deliberately opalescent - in much the same way a goblet or footed bowl might have a multi spiral twist stem maybe is what I'm thinking.

Thanks for the input M, would be interesting if its right.
Will have a look about to see if there is anything similar.
