Handblown Joseph Frances Wine Bottle (Green)

This Piece is a Historical Reproduction

Named after their long necks and bulbous bodies, shaft and globe bottles were made from 1630 until 1660. These early bottles competed with pottery vessels but by 1660 the future of the glass wine bottles was assured. This bottle is a reproduction of the only wine bottle found at Jamestown still completely sealed. It dates from 1650-1660. The original bottle is on display at the Jamestown Visitor Center Museum. This piece measures approximately 10" 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.
