They look like utilities, perhaps blacking or polish, from where I'm sitting. What are the sizes? Do they have impressed makers marks? (in reply to lucan5) Post #: 2

Alternatively I have found bottles very much like this with labels on suggesting gum or paste. (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 3

I'd love to use these on my Facebook page if that's all right with you ?  (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 6

I wouldn't advise Twitter, though... The stoneware hat guy has a pretty good Provenance, don't know about "Ju Ju." < Message edited by surfaceone -- 8/5/2011 10:52:00 AM > (in reply to SAbottles) Post #: 7

I am still laughing at the comments about the stone head, as they fit our boy here to a T : "Summary : ...in the shape of a male head wearing a cap.....misshapen (collapsed inward during firing). Depicts crudely a human head wearing a flat cap .... There is also a small perforation in the side of the mouth." For those who don't follow SA politics (lucky you!) Malema is at the forefront of those yelling for the nationalisation of mines, banks etc as all this money will then "go to the people" !  Yeah, right !! (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 8
