17th Century Handblown Case Bottle Pirate Grog Bottle

Case bottles were the most common glass vessels in the first half of the 17th century and were used for storing wine and rum. Their use in the Caribbean was wide spread where literally hundreds were recovered especially from ship wrecks. The name derives from the square sides of the bottle that allowed them to be packed into a wooden box or case for easy transport. This reproduction is based on an artifact found in Jamacia. This piece measures approximately 9" high.



This piece is hand-blown and crafted to details of the original. The natural color of glass is green so if you seek historical accuracy then your best selection is the green glass items. Since every piece is hand blown and crafted there will be slight irregularities and therefore no two items will be exactly the same.



DO NOT PUT THESE HANDBLOWN GLASS ITEMS IN A DISHWASHER OR OVEN THEY ARE TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE.
