I found these all in the same spot along with two more that were broken. I found a full bottle of black ink in the same general spot. Lisa

They don't look like inks to me either. They are embossed with grapes and vines and maybe an inch and a half high. At first I thought it was some sort of salt shaker, but I found 6 of them in a 3 ft x 3 ft place. There are no maker's marks on the bottom just a star burst pattern. Everything in the U.P. is a mystery lol. I can't dig for awhile, so I thought I would finally post some stuff.Lisa

I'm going with stopper as well. Lisa, did you find any large bottle shards in this dig? Like from a half gallon or gallon bottle? See if one of these fits inside with room to spare. Scott

Wow I never even thought of it that way! I believe you are right. When I turn them upside down and look at them, I realized the embossing was right. I never even noticed before that I was seeing the embossing upside down!! There are quite a few wine bottles at this site but after bringing home one of each variety, I left the rest. Thanks for solving my weird little mystery!Lisa
