The bottle on the left was in fresh water for over 160 years and the other in the ocean for the same length of time. Amazing the difference and that they both survived for so long. Torpedo bottles, also known as Hamilton bottles, were used for aerated or carbonated water.

Uranium glass is a vibrant, fluorescent glass made with uranium, usually up to 2%, but sometimes as much as 25%. Popular in Europe and North America, it’s often used for decorative tableware and household items. Production dropped in the 1940s due to uranium shortages during WW2.
