And here's the large size following close behind. Different seller and different hue though. Are you sure these can be irradiated? I know light citron colored examples exist, but I haven't seen this color from irradiation yet.

Ebay link

I dont beleive that bottle isnt nuked. but I think the color has been adjusted to the green a bit too much in the photo. notice evething (even the tree) is a bit too green. I'd like to see a real photo in sun light.

The bottle in the original post has that typical brownish hue to it you get from irradiated glass.


I remember reading an article years ago written by a person that was at an out door bottle show..he said he was holding a bottle up admiring the nice shade of green it was when he realized the very green trees ..the bottle was actually aqua...

The small example don't look quite right to me either...almost like a CROWNFORD bottle..JAMIE

its amazing how much a tiny bit of color adjustment will affect a bottle color.
Here is an original...

and with a little green enhancement... its really not fair to shoot a green bottle in front of green grass...
