Early 1800's Chinese porcelain, very low quality. Why're they always broken? []

Why would they throw them out if they weren't broken?

Nice bottles!

Sounds like a fun and eventful day!....I like the little Cohansey jar...

 

[epackage]

Cohansey pints are much better than the quarts...Marble is a good one...

This marble's cool. I'll email somebody to see if it's a good one.

Good one, it is. What size am it? I think a Three Stage White Solid Core:

"Three-stage White Core Marble 1-7/16" Dia." From.

Conner, It would have been a good one if it wasn't out of round.. I didn't see where anyone else mention this but your marble was handblown (should have pontil marks on top an bottom of marble) era I beleive would be late 1800's to very early 1900's

I dug up a couple other marbles on the same property last time and found out they were 1870's German handmades... I emailed somebody today about this one to see if it's worth anything.

That would have been a good one. Blown milks are super rare in Hawaii.

A very early, but sadly beat up Caldwell milk surfaced... "W. H. & R. S. FRANCISCO/ CALDWELL, N.J." It's early 1890's or so. Why are the good ones always broken? [][]

It still is a good one damage or not.. a very very hard to find NJ milk.. nice dig wheel.. I get so tired of oh geeessssee it cracked broken or chipped!!! for cryin out loud its old its trash and its burried in the ground.. plus the fact most pieces we find are utilitarian in nature or were used by drunks.. amazingly enough some survived.. be glad to find any examples such as this one.. I have not seen this one before wheel..

You're tearing it up. I like that wopsided marble.

Wow, John, I didn't think this milk was that good! I've found many rarer milks in pieces in this dump, which is why I made the comment about them being broken. I've been digging here over a year, and this is the most complete milk I've found, believe it or not. I figured these early milks were rare, but if you haven't seen it, it must be pretty rare. Hopefully I'll dig a whole one for once!
