About this lot

Condition: Has Some Scratches, No Major Visible Chips or Cracks

Additional Information: This dark green to black glass onion bottle features a classic bulbous, pear-shaped body that tapers into a long, slender neck, embodying the timeless form once favored for storing wine or liquor. The wide, rounded base provides natural stability on tavern tables or aboard ships, while its hand-blown construction is evident in the subtle variations throughout the glass. A pontil scar on the base and a hand-formed lip at the rim highlight its traditional craftsmanship, giving the piece an authentic, old-world character that makes it a standout decorative accent or collector’s item. Reportedly found off the Florida coast.
