****Lime green sea glass**""

Lime green sea glass comes mostly from soda pop and lemon-lime beverage bottles. Do you remember when Mello Yellow and Mountain Dew were popular with its bright yellow-green glass between the 1920s and 1970s?

In rare cases, it can also come from historical medicine bottles, art glass, or Depression-era tableware.Because it was predominantly mass-produced during the peak of 20th-century soda consumption, you can occasionally find these bright shards, although authentic lime green is considered uncommon color in sea glass hunting. Glassmakers created this sunny hue by using a mixture of iron oxide, sulfur, and calcium.

Whenever I wear my lime green pendant I always get compliments. If you want to own a piece of lime green just message me and it can be yours $40 + shipping

Bottle stoppers compared to sea glass

Photo 1: I found these two stoppers in an antique store in Richibucto, NB
Photo 2: The second photo is a tumbled piece of sea glass I found in the Bahamas.

Let's figure out more about the stoppers and the age?

Option 1 Apothecary Jars: (1880s–1910s) If these belonged to antique drugstore medicine bottles the frosted, ground plug base would feel uneven or even a little rough, hand-ground texture rather than a perfectly smooth machine finish.

Option 2 Perfume & Vanity Bottles: (1920s–1950s) elongated tear-drop style on the left and the tiered, ribbed shape on the right were incredibly popular shapes for commercial vanity sets and French perfume bottles during the 1920 to 1950s. Because the base in the photo when examined is very smooth, it confirms it is not an apothecary bottle. Furthermore the design with the red interior is more art deco indicating it is likely a vanity bottle that was popular during that time.

The piece of sea glass I found in the Bahamas could have been from a 1920-1950 perfume bottle, which got somehow lost into the ocean for 70 to 100 years before I found it tumbling on the shoreline amongst shells and sand.
