About the Item

Extremely Rare French 17th Century Brandy Bottle. Hand-blown with an extraordinary effervescent patina. Found on a shipwreck in the English Channel. Made in France circa 1650. An extraordinary and evocative artifact, this 17th-century French brandy bottle was recovered from a shipwreck in the English Channel and dates to circa 1650. Hand-blown from deep olive green glass, its compact, bulbous form and short neck reflect early French glassblowing techniques specific to utilitarian export vessels of the mid-17th century. Time and submersion have gifted the bottle with a stunning, naturally formed iridescent patina- an effect caused by centuries of mineral interaction with the sea, producing a shimmering surface of blues, violets, and silvery greens. The base exhibits a pronounced pontil mark and an applied ring at the neck, typical of the period's bottle-making style. A rare maritime survivor, this bottle not only offers a glimpse into the global trade and craftsmanship of 17th-century France but also presents as a sculptural object of natural beauty. Suitable for collectors of nautical artifacts, early glass, and museum-grade historical relics!
