This hand blown, hard-to-find, dark green, thick antique glass onion bottle reproduction has a uniquely shaped easy carrying handle and was often used to carry rum, wine, brandy or vinegar. Glass onions were large hand-blown glass bottles used aboard sailing ships to hold wine or brandy. For increased stability on rough seas, the bottles were fashioned with a wide-bottom shape to prevent toppling, thus making the bottles look somewhat onion-shaped.
