bottle, first half 20th century

Significance

Australia was not self sufficient in glass making until the turn of the 20th century and many bottles were made overseas and shipped to Australia with their contents and when emptied were re-filled with other company’s products.
This bottle has an aesthetic element in that the shape , colour and texture are visually appealing. It reflects the type of glassware that was in circulation at that time in history.
