Cathedral 3 Berry Pickle Bottle
Item #: 310104
- Authentic shipwreck artifacts from the SS Republic Shipwreck, archaeologically recovered after more than 138 years at the bottom of the Atlantic!
- The cathedral bottle with its ornate patterns was an American invention designed to lure the customer. American merchants hoped to convince the consumer that their preserved goods were superior to imported English brands packaged in plainer bottles.
- Typically three sides had fancy arches framing ornately embossed panels with the fourth side left smooth for a product label.
- Most of the Cathedral Pickle Bottles found among the wreckage are in varying shades of aquamarine, though a few exhibit deeper shades of apple or forest green.
- Found in 4 different sizes on the wreck site, these bottles were made in two-piece molds of relatively thin glass making their survival from the ship's two day battle with a hurricane and their subsequent descent to the deep-sea floor remarkable.
