Blueing is a blue dye made from Indigo roots.
- Rubifoam for the Teeth
Clear glass, height 4", smooth base, excellent condition with just some light haze.
- Swirled Rib bottle
Light olive green color with swirled ribs sort of like a pitkin flask,
small pontil hole mark in bottom. Since glass is not very crude but heavy
and thick with smooth pontil, must assume this is a reproduction bottle.
In fact, I've learned from Sean Jones
sbj3a@virginia.edu that a vase like this
is sold in the gift shop at a glass blowing house in Jamestown, Virginia.
