Understanding
Early Glass
by Wayne
Mattox
Understanding how it was made; molten glass
was blown, as one would blow a balloon, then
shaped with tools or molds by a "gaffer," is
the first step toward identifying valuable
antique glass in your own back yard. And, it
does show up, frequently. One of my mom's
friends, Shelly, bought a miniature "blown"
glass bottle with an "applied" handle at a
local tag sale last spring. Despite a small
"heat-check" crack, a crack that happened in
making when the red hot gooey handle was
applied to the cooler bottle, the insignificant
appearing two-inch tall amber demijohn was sold
for four-hundred dollars-fair profit on a
nickel investment! cont'd
