Description: | A small clear and blue glass drop-shaped bottle. Handblown. The rim is broken and there is a rounded a collar at the top of the neck. The body flares out at the sides into a rounded drop-shape, but it is flattened front and back. At the base is an applied flat foot which is uneven so that the bottle will not stand on it. The bottle is crudely decorated with two applied blue glass sub-circular discs one each face. These have an impressed design of criss-crossing lines. There are applied trails of clear glass along each side of the bottle, forming double loops at the neck and stuck to the sides on the main body of the bottle(one trail is broken below the neck). The trails have been impressed with transverse grooves and ridges where they run along the body of the bottle.
Made in lead glass and therefore late 17th century or later. The looped trails along the side are similar to Spanish glass. (Hugh Wilmot, pers. com.)
It may possibly be later 17th century, as that type of tooled trailing and the blue 'raspberry' prunts were popular then, although this is quite a crude example, Probably a scent bottle (Dr Rachel Tyson, pers. com.)
Date: Post-Medieval, probably late 17th to 18th century
