- Lot Description
Western Europe, The Netherlands or Belgium, or United States, ca. 18th century CE. A lovely pair of mouth-blown onion glass bottles in a dark amber-green hue. These bottles have the characteristic onion or shaft and globe shape with a deeply concave base for stability and the opening mouth has a protruding collar rim for securing the cork in place with a cord. Onion bottles were used as wine or rum vessels, and made from a thick, strong glass to withstand shipping and storage, and the dark green and brown tones were from the iron oxide in the sand used to create the glass. Production of these bottles originated in Europe but were later produced in the American Colonies / United States, and the taller necked bottles date from the 18th century, a deviation from the earlier, stouter 17th century bottles. This pair is in excellent condition with pontil scars on the indented bases. Size: 5.25" Diameter x 7.5" H (13.3 cm x 19 cm)
For fans of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, in the first movie during the marooned island beach scene when Captain Jack reveals his secret stash of rum, he is holding a glass onion bottle - this scene is shortly before he famously asks "Why's the rum gone?"
