Up for sale is a very rare piece of early glass. Half size onion bottles are rare but to find one on in this form and color are almost impossible. I have owned this bottle for some time and it is now time for me to let someone else enjoy it for a while.
This aqua colored bottle stands right at 5 inches tall. English in origin and should date to the earliest part of the 1700s. Bottle has two chips to the lip that I have shown clearly in the pictures and two repairs to the flared collar on the lip that I have also shown clearly in the photos. There is a small pot stone on the base that I have magnified in the pictures. There are no cracks, bruises, or any other damage to this bottle other than the lip issues which in my opinion do not take away from this bottle due to its rarity. This is your chance to own an awesome piece of early glass and who knows when another one will come up for sale. To my knowledge this is one of the first aqua half sized onions to be offered for sale on .
This bottle has been the center piece of my collection. I have set a reserve that is far under my original purchase price to protect at least some of my investment.
Please contact me with any questions and be sure to check out my other bottles currently up for sale.
