Label Text:Bottles were in constant demand in the American colonies and later in the new Republic. Most of them were made in molds in bottle glasshouses that used unrefined raw materials, producing amber, green, and so-called black (dark olive-green) glass bottles and vessels. Most of the bottles in the Toledo Museum were made to store alcohol.
