Glass Bottle

(Circa 1850s - 1860s)

One aqua glass bottle with a turn molded base. The surface is patinated and delaminating. The exterior body has a small rectangular area with possible residue which may have been from an adhesive used to apply a paper label. Possibly a soda or mineral water bottle due to its string rim and short stature at 18 cm tall.
