RE: New to FloridaRecycled's collection: - 8/26/2009 5:46:11 PM    FloridaRecycled   Posts: 382 Joined: 7/9/2008 From: Orlando Status: offline I must say I WAS very excited!!!  Couldn't see a thing through the bottom the wicker was so tight...I just knew it was whittled pretty good.  I had a few bottles but mostly was collecting fruit jars until recently...since I have been lurking and reading/learning here I have paid a lot more attention to the bottles I already had and have been acquiring and looking for more.  Sadly I have to get them from estate sales/yard sales - from being on here I want to go digging so bad I can't stand it!!!!  Just the thought of not knowing what you might find intrigues me so much!  From talking about "wanting" to dig...I did run in to a lady at a yard sale that has a house that she said sits on top of an old dump site...she said there is no grass and shards of glass come up in the sand all the time.  They are going to be knocking this house down within the next year...I did tell her I would be free labor to "dig" and she gave me her card...now I just have to find someone in the Orlando area that digs! But I digress...this bottle was one of about 4 boxes that I got at an estate sale about 2 weeks ago...I will be posting pics of all the ones I got there and also the ones that I have already! Thanks for the positive replies...I'm so excited! _____________________________ Tinna ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nanna to 3 b-e-a-U-tiful boys!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (in reply to cyberdigger) Post #: 8

RE: New to FloridaRecycled's collection: - 8/28/2009 11:57:24 AM    FloridaRecycled   Posts: 382 Joined: 7/9/2008 From: Orlando Status: offline OK...so here's the other demijohn (?) that I got...here's the first pic with it covered in the wicker (which was really more like twigs than wicker)...the bottom was already off of it...so I knew it wasn't pontiled...it was "kicked up"...but I really liked the lip on it...(is this considered a demijohn ? just because of the wicker ? because I remember the post about the beer bottle with wicker...but then that's a beer bottle...so what do you think this was for...the glass is a lot thinner in the middle and it's taller...don't recall any seams on it at all?

Interesting lip on that one.. to answer your question, wicker does not make a bottle a demijohn.. demijohns are defined mainly by their large size, and use as storage or transport containers, rather than on the supper table.. how big is that one?
