Bottles and Bert Wise: Glass collector preserves history
Bert Wise of Live Oak Street has built a 600 bottle display, dating bottles from free blown to pontil and three piece mold eras. He traces glass history from ancient Egypt to 19th century innovations, noting rare hogshead bottles and price ranges, while stressing why glass collections endure in a plastic world.
