Teal/Dark Cyan Piece of Sea Glass..

by Jessica
(Mayetta, NJ)

I found this piece of sea glass in NJ the other day and it is much more blue than any of the other aqua pieces I have and stuck out like a sore thumb lying on the beach. I looked at the color chart here on the website and have determined that it is closest to teal/dark cyan. I would like to see if anyone has information on where this piece may have originated from.

Thanks

Canning Jar Sea Glass
by: EPNS

I'm certain you have found a piece of a canning jar. I to have found many pieces of the same and some of them had ATLAS embossed on them.

Origin cyan piece of sea glass
by: Jessica

I've looked at both the Ball canning jars and the insulators. They both look like they could have been the origin for the teal piece. I'm just not sure how to determine exactly which one it is. I guess that will have to be good enough lol.

Thanks guys!

Teal/Dark Cyan Piece of Sea Glass..

I also have found many pieces of the same type & color as your teal blue. I think that I may know of it's origin. Here on the west coast of Canada, "insulators" were used on the telephone poles at the turn of the century until the 70's or 8o's (?). These insulators were usually this teal blue or clear glass. The electrical poles had insulators that were made of pottery, usually a dark brown. Hope this bit of info helps you.

Bottles

Hey Jessica,

I'd say your piece is most likely from a bottle. Of course, without dates or markings on the piece it's hard to say which type or year it is. But the large size with the rings on top tells us it may have been an old Coca Cola bottle or a milk bottle at some point. It is truly beautiful (and gigantic).

Happy hunting!
