Glass bottles, crafted from glass, exhibit diverse sizes mainly ranging between 200 ml to 1.5 liters. Widely employed for food condiments, soda, liquor, cosmetics, pickling, and preservatives, these utility-driven vessels have long been a staple in commercial industries. Tracing back to its roots in south east Asia around 100 BC and the Roman Empire circa 1 AD, glass bottles gained momentum in America during the early 1600s via Jamestown's first glass melting furnace. A pivotal advancement came with the invention of the automatic glass bottle blowing machine in 1880, industrializing production. Primitive methods, such as dipping clay forms into molten glass and utilizing blowpipes to create hollow vessels, gave way to molding and later, Michael Owens' automatic bottle machine in 1904. To prevent internal stresses caused by uneven cooling, annealing ovens are employed. Modern bottles bear identifying marks on their base, conveying production details and ownership information. Embossed lettering, numbers, and designs serve to inform purchasers of contents or establish ownership. Glass bottle closures range from traditional wax seals to more contemporary screw caps and stoppers. Remarkably, glass recycling enables high recovery rates of raw materials.
