Small Onion Bottle
12
£37.00
A smaller sized onion bottle in a dark olive green color. Glass onions were hand-blown glass bottles frequently used aboard sailing ships to hold wine or brandy. For increased stability on rough seas, the bottles were fashioned with a wide-bottom shape to prevent toppling, thus making the bottles look somewhat onion-shaped. Onion bottles were invented in the late 17th century. Ours is English in style and is c. 1720.
About 5" tall x 5" in diameter. Holds 20oz.

The onion bottle arrived quickly, and it was well-packaged. It was a Christmas present for my brother who is an artist and also loves history. He loved it. Thank you very much. The onion bottle is beautiful.

Super nice item that was shipped very quickly. The bottle is a very good reproduction, although I wish the stopper had a more less than new appearance. Still, I have no problem recommending the bottle.
