BLACK GLASS BOTTLES
Price Guide
2009 Edition
| I'll bet you don't collect black glass. Neither do I - BUT it shows up in antique stores, and antique malls and even yard sales. I often get asked about a large green octagonal bottle with an applied seal medallion on the front that says "Jno. Greenhow Wms.burg 1770." The questioner usually thinks they have found a gold mine - with Williamsburg embossed. These bottles were reproduced based on shards found in the colonial wells in historical Williamsburg and sold in gift shops in Williamsburg . They are fairly convincing in color and form but no such bottle exists in a whole state. You can learn to distinguish between trash and treasure. |
