Glass bottle from 16th century Europe on view at Royal Ontario Museum
A fragile glass bottle about one sixty fourth of an inch thick is displayed at the Royal Ontario Museum. Its body evokes grape fruit, with a slender neck. Valued for its age and journey from France via Jesuit missionaries to Forte Ste. Marie near Midland, it was recovered in 1941 with shards later restored by museum experts.
