Notes |
"Many 19-century American pepper sauces were sold in cathedral-style bottles...they typify the common designs of square and six-sided cathedral patterns." Pepper sauces were an important staple in the 19th-century American diet, enjoyed for their distinctive flavor and for their ability to mask unpleasant tastes." Gerth, Ellen C. Bottles from the deep: Patent medicines, bitters, & other bottles from the wreck of the steamship Republic. Las Vegas, NV: Shipwreck Heritage Press, 2006, pp. 68-69. |
