Found a glass plant? Scavenge the cullet pile!
My boyfriend is local to a long abandon glass plant that is pretty well known and has, on the inside at least, been picked pretty clean over the past few years. Due to some recent land clearing in the area, the cullet pile has been exposed and, thanks to him, also been picked almost clean over the past few weeks. He refuses to create a reddit account so I get to post the haul. If anyone can identify any of the more intact pieces (compote base (?) and lid or bottle tops), that would be lovely as I am not familiar with the patterns made by this company. I can't figure out how to add captions so I'll describe the slides below:
The whole sorted collection

The pictures aren't the best. If anyone would like close ups or better pictures of anything I can post them in the comments.
