Hi Folks ,
I stand corrected ,and many thanks , I had thought my idea may be wrong , based on 1/2 reading an American book 1/2 a lifetime ago which referred to 'inserted necks' on flasks and bottles,methinks from now on I should stick to the objects I know about ,those that I can drink from :wsh:
Having said that , could someone please tell me ,if these are what i now understand to be 1 piece objects and not as I thought 2 pieces , with the neck being added , why the use of the punty , leaving its scar on the base, was this just so that the neck and rim could be given it's final shape and finished off , or is there another reason i don't know of,
Many thanks again for the correction ,this oldglassman has certainly learned something new today .
cheers ,
Peter.
