A » To determine if an antique glass item is hand-blown, look for pontil marks or irregularities in shape, as hand-blown glass often has these characteristics. Machine-made glass typically has seams and uniformity, lacking the unique imperfections found in hand-crafted pieces. Additionally, hand-blown glass may have variations in thickness, whereas machine-made items are consistently even. Examining these features can help identify the manufacturing method.
