Description

-Another green (lighter shade than #5) glass bottle, only base and part of body preserved. Base is similar to #5 [in the box, not EP-2010-7-5] → concave with large cone of glass projecting into body about 3”, cone narrows near top, then widens out → flat top. Some part of body remains and extends as cylinder from base straight up (does not have ballooning sides), only about 4” remain at highest point, lowest point = glass broken at base. Lots of dirt (inside and outside) – glass is deteriorating on outside in a “swirling” pattern along the cone. Outside of bottle scratched up. No identifying marks/writing. [2014]
