This Piece is a Historical Reproduction
c.1680-1730
Named after its similar appearance to an onion. This bottle was a result of the needs from tavern owners who desired a more stable bottle, which was less prone to breakage in the taverns. The onions neck was much shorter than earlier bottles and the squat broad base was a much more stable form. Holds about 56 ounces of liquid.
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.
