Anyone recognize this aqua soda(?) form? I picked up the bottle in a Caribbean country just because I hadn't seen one like this before. There is no embossing.

I believe it is from the second half of the 19th Century, with an applied, tooled lip. The sharp shoulder appears at first glance to have a mold seam, but I believe it is just a groove in the mold at the start of the shoulder.

In the Caribbean, a bottle may be British, or it may be from just about anywhere bottles were made. If you recognize the form, your help would be appreciated.

without any embossing it be next to impossible to determine who used it , and in that area ships would of been arriving from all over the world , so a bottle could be from anywhere

I'll put this response in the "I have no idea" column.

Bottle-making traditions (e.g. tradional shapes or lip finishes) vary from country to country. What I'm asking is: Do you recognize this bottle as a traditional form from one country or another?
