This Piece is a Historical Reproduction


This small medicine bottle is a reproduction of an artifact recovered at Jamestown and displayed at the Visitor Center Museum. It was designed to store one dose of medicine. It is dated 1600-1650 and came from England. Glassblowing in England was still in its infancy in the early 1600's and this is an excellent example of a simple utilitarian design manufactured during this period. This piece measures approximately 2" high.


All of the Jamestown Glasshouse produced pieces are hand-blown and crafted by local artisans. The natural color of glass is green so if you seek historical accuracy then your best selection is the green glass items. Since every piece is hand blown and crafted there will be slight irregularities and therefore no two items will be exactly the same.

DO NOT PUT THESE HANDBLOWN GLASS ITEMS IN A DISHWASHER OR OVEN THEY ARE TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE.
