Description
A collection of antique salt-glazed stoneware and glass utility vessels, including items for domestic and commercial use. The stoneware components comprise two brown-glazed pouring jars featuring pinched spouts and narrow necks, a cylindrical brown-glazed bottle, and two cream-coloured stoneware crocks. The lot also includes a large off-white stoneware foot warmer of cylindrical form with a screw-top cap. The glass selection features several aqua and dark green glass bottles, including two torpedo-style aerated water bottles and a variety of cylindrical beverage and pharmaceutical vessels. A large aqua glass bottle is embossed with the characters DORSET BREWERY. The items exhibit surface characteristics typical of recovered utility ware, including iridescent surface oxidation and interior residue.
