Description: Used primarily in the 19th century, Black Glass is in reality a very dark olive green, as is the case with this beautiful bottle from the 1800s. It is free-blown (no seams) and because of irregularities in the glassblowing, you will get to enjoy seeing what collectors call “stretch marks” on the lady’s leg portion of this amazing bottle. The Corning Museum of Glass provides the following helpful information: “From about 1725 to 1850, the English black glass bottle industry made bottles in various shapes and capacities in response to increasing demands from makers and vendors of wines, beers, medicines and chemicals, commercial foods, snuff, and natural and artificial mineral waters.” This rare wine bottle is 10 inches tall, and 3.5 inches wide at the base, with a slight push-up. It is in mint condition, clean, totally smooth, and free of any cracks or chips. I have owned it for over 50 years and hope it finds a new home soon! As always, carefully wrapped and mailed promptly by USPS at a reduced rate for you. Thank you for looking!
