Bottle Attributes
Bottles have attributes or characteristics that are useful in
identifying their age, the products that they contained and even what
area of North America they originate.
Some attributes, such as imperfections in the glass, whittling and
deformities can vary from bottle to bottle made at the same time for the
same customer. Others are consistent with a batch of bottles that
was produced. This second set of attributes are described on this site:
- Shapes - The general form of a bottle
- Lips - The shape of the top of a bottle
- Bases - The manufacturing markings on a base of a bottle
- Colors - The primary colors on a bottle
- Lettering - The lettering type on a bottle
- Closures - The items or devices used to seal a bottle
- Manufacturers - The makers of a bottle
