So thats some of the stuff coming out of the ground at the Dyottville glassworks site in Kensington. One last bit, if any local digger could help in identifying this bottler:

Glass slag...

Great finds! I used to dig the glass slags from the very old Old Dominion Glassworks in Alexandria, Va. The variety was beautiful. This was many, many years ago and I gave it all away.

How can you make your own big chunks of slag glass? I've thought about melting down milk of magnesias and some plain jane green glass and mixing the colors together for garden art. How..How..HOOOOWWWW!!!!! I really wanna know.

I'm looking for pieces of this glass slag to sell in my shop in shades of blue, light blue, blue-green. Have anyone found these in sizes about 6 to 8 inches? Could we work out something for me to purchase from you guys and ship to me? I want to put on little stands and sell in my shop with some artwork as whimsical decorative pieces.
