It has a lot of irregularities and I guarantee you’ll never find another identical to this.


The glass has many pits, wobbles and rough areas. The base has some sharp protruding areas from where the bottle was formed into what I believe was a two part mould. Despite having mould lines to each side the bottle looks freeform, wonky and sculptural.


It does have some abrasion and scratches, but quite understandable given its age. It was in a woven basket so had been well protected for most of its life.



It is understood to be from the late 1700s to early 1800s


The glass is very richly coloured and dark and where the light catches it you can see a lovely intense dark brown.


It is nearly 19 inches height


Approx width at widest 11 1/2 inches
