I was looking at this bottle and I realized there was a water bubble in it! I have no idea how this could have happened as there is no crack touching the bubble, it has been completely sealed inside this glass for over 100 years image.jpgimage.jpg

That’s awesome , first I’ve ever seen it in a bottle ! It’s just like a water inclusion or enhydro that occurs in some quartz crystals, in nature when the crystals formed sometimes a new layer would grow over a channel or void on the surface , sometimes trapping water in them ! I guess the same concept with this as some moisture or condensation of sorts got caught in a bubble when it was blown ! AWESOME !!!!

I am fairly certain that you will find that is an air bubble with some path to surface (bruise or crack) that allowed water to get in.

Would the temperature of the glass (or the mold itself) not have instantly vaporized any water?

Maybe it's another liquid with higher boiling point?

Still neat.

I looked very closely at the crack that’s close to it and I am %99 sure that it doesn’t touch the bubble, I have looked very closely at it through a light and I cannot see any way for the water to have gotten in

Could it have gotten in through an opening in the inside of the bottle? I would also have thought that the water would have been vaporized before it was able to get inside the glass. Definitely an interesting find regardless!
