Description: | A dark green glass bottle with wide mouth, vertical but not well-shaped rim, with a circular ridge encircling the glass below the rim. The base with a concavity or highly kicked-up inside. According to Alvey (1973:65), this form is sometimes refered as a pickle bottle. Alvey dates it c. 1675-1690.Published by R. Alvey in T.T.S. Vol.LXXVII, 1973 pp. 53-72. Glass bottles for wine were first made in England during the early 17th century. They were of thick dark green glass and were free-blown with globular shaped bodies and long necks complete with a rim around which stringe or twine could be tied to secure a cork or hemp stopper. These are known as shaft or globes. By 1700 the bottle shape had evolved from the shaft and the globe to a squat onion shape with a kick up or concavity in the base (David Hampton, Collecting bottles, CY Services, Nottingham, 1987, p. 30).
