Glass onion bottles were large hand-blown glass bottles, used aboard sailing ships to hold wine or brandy. For increased stability on rough seas, the bottles were fashioned with a wide-bottom shape to prevent toppling. Between c.1690 and c.1720 the outline of a wine bottle resembled an onion - a wide compressed globular body and a short neck (Robinson and Harding 2015). Most bottles before 1700 had a ring of glass just below the neck that gave anchorage to the string used to hold in variety of stoppers. The Dutch bottles usually had a longer neck than the English ones and featured a flat wraparound rim, while the English bottlenecks had an applied collar or laid on ring (Polak 2016).This item was found along with a large round jug (MAS-D100052) and were recovered from the Goodwin Sands, Kent.2017-05-23 19:42:072017-10-04 09:49:26312017-05-2328Certain3636401814414PAS5989C577001EA7PAS57BC21F300115BPAS57BC1E1600176F22MASMASGlass10879
