dark purple bottle ?

[sweetrelease]

hi i just got a bottle from a "very" small time dealer here in nj. it is dark purple and reads j. clapham botanical chemist wade ln & kelsalls leeds .it is really crude with bubbles and bent neck. by question is the color,it made me think as soon as i saw it .it is stunning but the dark purple made me think it could of been messed with.the thing is this guy might of had maybe 10 or so bottles at his shop.all pretty much local dug bottles so i would think he might not be into making bottles purple.so first have you guys and girls ever heard of this bottle and do some bottle really come in a dark purple almost black color.i will have pic up soon thanks again ,matt https://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k38/mattmichelle/?action=view&current=IM000660.jpg

Matt,

I think that is the color glass that bottle was blown in.That is not a color achieved through irradiation or a light box.I hate to admit how I know but I do.Not many American bottles were blown in that color with the exception of hair bottles but I have seen a good number of European bottles in those colors.It is a beautiful bottle,English in orgin,and 100% original.Great find,Doug

Sorry, that one is a fake. I have an emerald green one with the sticker still on the bottom that says Made In China.

really no made in china sticker on it and it does not follow the china making.it is heavy crude and i have seen many china bottles if this is one than it is a really good one.most chine bottles seems go through the whole bottle this one stops at the neck.and the bubbles are everywhere.do you have a pic of your bottle thanks ,matt

Wether real or not, it's still a sweet looking bottle. I hope it's not a fake Matt. Good luck with it!

That isn't a fake..he's just pulling your shovel...fakes are only well known bottles and that is not one. Nice bottle

A botanical chemist would be a chemist who specializer in fertilizers or weed control chemicals. Plant related stuff.
