ancient sea glass lip

[cobaltbot]

One of Bram's earlier threads here:

https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m-265095/mpage-1/key-/tm.htm#265100

reminded me of this sea glass bottle lip I found beachcombing on the Chesapeake bay. This was a large green bottle - the hole in the lip is over 1&1/4 inches. The finish now is seaglass grey/green with irradescent blue bands under the two lips.
