The bottle that ended 1860’s long wait: a lava-black body drawn up to a narrow neck ringed with a white beaded band, like a string of seeds pressed around the throat. With 1918 beside it, the necked silhouette finally became a registry form of its own in this run.
What are the white beads? A raised, pale band circling the neck — whether applied, trailed, or bubbled up from the surface, the photos keep that secret. Piece 1917 of 10,000, listed at $19.17.
