Markings on Glass

Seaglass with writing on itOccasionally, I find a piece of Sea Glass with writing on it.  I enhanced the brightness and contrast on this picture.  if you look closely in the white circled area, you may be able to make out the word JAVEX. So I thought this glass came from an old bleach bottle. Interesting.  I never knew bleach came in glass bottles. So I Googled “glass javex bottle” and wound up on the Glass Gallery website.  Wow! that picture looks like the piece of bottle I found on the beach.

Then, I inherited this glass JAVEX bottle.  Information on this bottle is a bit sketchy but it seems the glass bottles went out of production between 1940 and 1960. They were made by the Dominion Glass Company.  So I know my glass piece is about 50 years old, but it does not necessarily mean it has been “underwater” for 50 years.

 

 

 

Bottom of glass javex bottleHere is a picture of the bottom of the bottle.  In future posts I will talk about some of these markings and how they are helpful in identifying the origin of glass.

 

Thanks for stopping by. Next time I promise some news for newcomers to Prince Edward Island.

      You can check the Internet for prices on old bottles. Like with stamps and coins, condition plays an important role on value. The Quart bottle I have is priceless (to me) because I would not dream of selling it.
