Description

-Greyish-green glass bottle. Broken off at neck and base (only part of base is missing). Base is concave, circular with dimpling on inside. Half of base broken off/smashed up → hole in body of bottle at one side. Body extends from base as a cylinder, then widens to form rounded shelf for shoulder (similar to previous bottle). Neck makes sharp angle with shoulder, extends straight up and is broken off before the top. No seams to bottle, bubbles visible in glass, scratch marks on outside, some dirt/debris coating in sides of bottle. No distinguishing marks/writing. [2014]

-The bottle is more of olive green than greyish-green. The dimpling's proper term is push-up. [2016]
