Hello all,
I have a strange bottle I can't identify. It is a very dark amethyst, which you can really only see when you shine a light through it. The entire bottle has an irregular, rough surface, except for a smooth part in the center where I'm sure a label went, but the label is long since gone, as well as the lid. There is no embossing anywhere on the bottle, not even the bottom, making it difficult to do searches about it. Does anybody know who the maker of this bottle might be, and the purpose?
(I've put this in the "before 1900" section because I found this in a box of antique bottles at an estate sale, and almost every other bottle in the box is pre-1900s so I'm assuming the collector targeted that era.)
Thanks in advance to anybody who can recognize it or provide help identifying it!
