I almost passed this by as a modern, but something seemed old about it.
Here's what I know:
• The site has produced multiple artifacts from the 1870s–90s.
• The bottle is unembossed.
• Base is slightly recessed, no markings.
• No machine marks.
• Seam stops at the lip (but does not go thru the lip)

Any help appreciated. Images below.

Has the look of some kind of food bottle to me. Hand blown with an applied top, so I'd probably date it to the 1870s. Nice color on a bottle that one would expect to see in aqua. Nice!

Thanks! I was thinking a sauce or chutney maybe. I have one other bottle in this green—a chow-chow bottle from the UK.
