Bottles 101: Bottle Tops

We'll be doing a series of informative videos detailing the elements that make up an antique bottle. Part two takes a look at bottle tops; applied tops, tooled tops, and even machine made tops.

Thank you from an archaeologist. Super useful info to remind me if I haven't worked with bottles for a while :)

Sounds like applied top and tooled top are the same thing. I don't understand the difference if they are both done by hand.

i’m still learning so i’m not 100% sure, but i believe applied tops are created by adding material to the bottle, and tooled tops are made by shaping the material that was already on the bottle.

Do you still need some of this bottle?
