Terracotta lid? - 6/14/2011 7:06:15 PM    Wheelah23 Posts: 4300 Joined: 8/9/2010 From: Glen Ridge, New Jersey Status: offline I've been diggin' in my dump for the past couple weeks, but I've not found much worth reporting . Maybe I'll find a new dump, if possible. Just gotta start looking. I dug this recently, and was wondering what it is. I figure it's a lid to some kind of flower pot. It's made out of the same material as your average flower pot.

New Hampshire Status: offline Could have went to a lot of things, A crock, jar (cookie jar?), ect. I see there are no markings, so it would be hard if not impossible to determine exactly what it went to. I found one similar to that once. My best guess would be to a honey pot or something like that. _____________________________ Looking for non-screw or crown top sodas,beers, & ect, BIM medicines, bitters, druggists, and anything hand blown and black glass.

Terracotta is easy to work and cheap so it was used for a lot of things, glazed if it needed to hold liquids and unglazed if not. _____________________________ Always looking for veterinary bottles, American and foreign.
