Title
Berkshire: Onion bottle
Description
English: A Post-medieval 'onion' bottle made from dark green glass and free-blown. The vessel is almost complete with limited damage to the rim and lip.

The onion bottle has a wide kick-up style base (to help stability) and an English style lip with applied string rim. Bottles of this date were sealed with a loose fitting wedge-shaped cork, tied down to the string rim, a ridged shaped band on the neck just below the lip (Hedges 1975:8).

This bottle also carries a seal - made by stamping a moltern spot of glass applied directly to the finished bottle. This seal bears a crown design with unidentified mark beneath. It was fashionable during this period for wealthy gentleman to own wine stamped with their own seal.
