Green Bottle

[xfallwithmexo]

That's absolutely all i know, that it's a green bottle!
Previous owner engraved a 6 on the bottom, I know that hurt's the value but any ideas on what it is and what it's worth?

Capers. 1890 - 1910. Maybe a tad earlier. Worth $10 - $25 IMHO

Hey Jordyn,

That's a particularly nice example to my eyes. From the stovepipe finish to the scalloped chamfers.

Ok, I know the form by sight, but wonder about these iconic green guys. Capers are a Mediterranean thang. Might the bottles be French or Italian? Spanish even?

I've never dug a marked one that I can remember, though I never saved the ABM ones.

From.​

Capers have medicinal properties as an anti-rheuatic and ant-flatulent. May even be an anticarcenogenic.

"In ayurvedeic medicine capers (Capers=Himsra) are recorded as hepatic stimulants and protectors, improving liver function. Capers have reported uses for arteriosclerosis, as diuretics, kidney disinfectants, vermifuges and tonics. Infusions and decoctions from caper root bark have been traditionally used for dropsy, anemia, arthritis and gout. Capers contain considerable amounts of the anti-oxidant bioflavinoid rutin." From.

""Capers have been used since at least the time of the ancient Greeks as a condiment to add a salty-sour flavor to sauces, cheeses, salad dressings, stews, and various other meat and fish dishes. The caper bush grows wild and thrives in southern Europe, where Italy and Spain are the biggest caper producers."
---The Cambridge World History of Food, Kenneth F. Kiple & Kriemhild Ornelas [Cambridge University Press: Cambridge] 2000 (p. 1744)" From.

PS:

If you want the pictures to show up on the page, sandwich those image codes between a couple of these guys

and presto...
