Broken old bottle. Would you keep?

[cajundetector]

Dug about an hour ago. Chasing a weak signal and saw the neck exposed. Seem does not go to the lip. Base obviously broken. Usually I would but I love the shape. I can easily cut or sand the jagged part as bottle cutting is a hobby of mine. What are y’all thoughts in this? Thanks for viewing!!

I think if you think it’s cool, then it’s cool. If you have lapidary gear to make it not a jagged hazard, that’s even cooler.

Get yourself a rustic looking piece of wood, drill a hole same diameter as the base of the bottle and set it in the hole.

Yeah I sometimes keep broken stuff, repurpose it or make something from them.

If it’s broken, you can’t hurt it.
The idea with the wood base sounds good.
