During a recent visit with a couple of dear bottle-collecting friends I mentioned an article called “Registering Bottles” I found very interesting in our last issue of Antique Bottle and Glass Collector. I was surprised to learn they had not read it, stating they only read articles about bottles they collected or are interested in. So, with that in mind, I offered my opinion as to why the gorgeous John Ryan cobalt blue bottles, in great shape, were so hard to come by.
