Here is a tumble of glass bits found on the beach, and bits I made from hundred plus year old bottles. All the old bottles were either broken, or had cracks in them, so value as old bottles. The red glass was a piece of fresnel lens from a ships running light I found on the beach. The red colour was produced using gold oxide. Anyhow, it was a large chunk that met the trim saw. The black lumps are from pieces of old black glass bottles....they are actually a greenish brown colour. OK...at least one of the black lumps is a piece of basalt from my driveway! Woody The whole lot A close up

That looks great and in the beach glass fashion, very weathered looking! I love the colors you have hear and being nautical and old items makes it so much nicer! I guess those rings were the bottle tops? Great job woody! Fran

Old Vicks Vap-o-rub bottles, kids today may have never seen a glass one. Neat.

They've also never seen a rotary phone, Carlos. LOL
Great glass, Woody. Thanks for sharing.
