Macro Mondays. In a Bottle
Glass marble in a bottle. 19th Century fizzy drink bottle. As far as I understand the gas pressure pushed the marble up against a rubber o-ring at the top. When the bottle is tilted in one orientation, the marble rolls down to a trap formed by the shapes in the glass, allowing the drink out. This one was in very good condition for its age, though the rubber seal was crumbling away. This bottle is lovely green looking thick glass full of imperfections. It bears the name "Andrew & Atkinson of Hyde (England). They produced botanical beers and mineral waters and were formed around 1889, but didn't trade for too many years.
