This antique "torpedo" or Hamilton bottle features a distinct round bottom, designed to prevent it from being stood upright. This clever engineering kept the cork wet and swollen, preventing the carbonation from escaping. Crafted from beautiful aqua-colored glass, it shows subtle iridescence and natural air bubbles from the manual blowing process. These durable vessels were widely used throughout the 19th century to safely transport highly pressurized soda and mineral water
