BOTTLE
Unique ID: MAS-O100028
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
A bottle made from dark green/black glass, bearing a protruding cork. It has a slightly concave body, flaring moderately at the base, leading to gently rounded shoulders with clear definition where they intersect with the neck. The neck itself is broadly straight, tapering slightly where it meets the finish. The finish is of either a double oil or brandy type. The bottle is reminiscent of a spirit bottle of the squat cylinder style, though vessels of this style were used to contain a variety of products beyond beers, wines and spirits. Bottles of this type were manufactured from at least the 1730's until the late 19th century, examples of both free blown and moulded vessels are known. This bottle is likely to have been hand blown in a mould, it bears a slight lean from the base but otherwise appears uniform.
