Steph Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Bottom one is handgathered, but something about how the tail ends makes me think a closer look might be in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I was thinking of the bottom left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 MFC strove for more white than transparent glass in their slags 60-70% I believe it was, It made a majority of their slags very difficult to get light to pass all the way through. When I see a slag with that much transparent glass and no long cutoff and obvious tail I look to other makers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Me too. And that doesn't look like a MFC cut off. Bottom left pic = looks like it could be a melted pontil (without very much carbon schmutz), which would nudge it over towards J. H. Leighton, maybe either Navarre or Barberton. Most of the Navarres I've seen have been purple or a dark color that reads as black, and the lighter-colored ones always seem to be Barberton. Not gonna die on that hill, though.
