H.G.CO. Petticoat Beehive - Color Insert
by Paul L. Rosenberger
Reprinted from "Crown Jewels of the Wire", August 2001, page 32
 |
One wonders how this beehive ever survived installation without sustaining
damage to a drastically extended inner skirt. The plunger was never sent deep
into the molten glass, leaving a lot of dome glass above the top of the pinhole.
As the plunger was removed, it pulled a second inner skirt making a "triple
petticoat" on the base. The piece is just about flawless mint! |

 |
A cold mold produced the "orange-peel" surface
 |
 |
| This piece was set on a ledge at the factory and caused the base to become
lopsided which created a "Rocking Petticoat"! ! |
