Can anybody help identifying this bottle. It is 21cm high, bottom diameter is 6.5cm and at the top the diameter is 5cm. The colour is nearly black, but purple when you shine a light on to it. It has no marks or name on it and its surface is shin[attachment=P1138735.jpg] [attachment=P1138733.jpg] [attachment=P1138734.jpg] y.

As a pure guess from a dimming memory, I believe that is a "Truffle" jar, European I believe. Jim

yep, definitely Truffles or some other small foodstuff (capers?)- mid 1800's.

Truffle bottle for sure. I've seen these as old as 1800 and as new as 1910. Judging from your pontil pic, I would estimate the date to be 1870 / 1880.
