Antique glass - serving bottle Mid 18th century

Fine large serving bottle. Box section mallet straight side body with long neck and annulated string-rim.  English l745.

Base:   10 cm.

Condition: Very good. The bottle has been professionally cleaned.  

Note: Prior to the development of corking machines or fitted glass stoppers, early bottles had a string rim which is a trail of glass which forms a ring around the neck of a wine bottle or decanter to enable a muslin cloth or cork to be fastened by wire or string. The bottle would have been made by blowing molten glass into an iron mould.
