The pics tell it all really. Also the purple color of the bottle suggests it was irradiated
or heated to give the color....perhaps. It stands five inches high.
The top shows saw marks where probably a broken top was `fixed`.
Still an interesting piece.

That is a very interesting piece, the diamond on the base is the British registration mark if you have a look at oz-riley's website in the dateing bit there is a good bit of info there

The colour of you bottle could be from being irradiated but heating will not change the colour of glass (crack it maybe [;)] ).

I didnt see what you were referencing to but, could it be a British made bottle?
I didnt show the last words on it too well. It says New York.
Did the Brits sell bottles of mayonaise to New Yorkers in 1877 ?.

Click on the link above, on the left there is a few links click on the one that says dating and scroll down and the info is there.
The bottle is very likely British made, US glassworks may have used the British rego but it seems unlikely.
