Very pretty perfume bottle stoppers from the turn of the century….nineteenth-twentieth, that is. Posted by Corn Island Archaeology on Friday, February 23, 2018

Corn Island Archaeology featured four glass stoppers, each with its own ornate top. Bottle stoppers came in many forms and are commonly seen on wine, mineral water and soda bottles. The perfume stoppers above are examples of ground glass joints. Unlike stoppers made of cork and rubber, ground glass joints had the ability to stabilize chemically compounded substances over long periods of time.
