    Weird Bottle lip What is it?

    - I would suggest early 20th century and probably a paper labelled beer. - :)

    Weird Bottle lip What is it?

    - It appears to be one of the crown cap types which can be opened by inserting the edge of a coin between the cap and the ledge then twisting the coin to lever the cap off. - :)

    Hi Liam, With regard to dating the cream pots. I have checked some of the newspaper archives I subscribe to and the only advertisements I can find for the Co-Operative Dairy in Nassau Street are some small ads from the early 1890's and I would suggest your pots would be contemporary with this...

    Some really nice pieces there Liam. The stand out pieces for me are obviously the sealed wine, the Nixey bottle which although relatively common is scarce with the original label and the two Dublin cream pots.

    G.brandy English crock ? Can anyone drop some knowledge here?

    Hi Flasks, These type of sprig decorated barrels are not uncommon in the UK and similar types were made by a number of different potteries. Although very 'eye appealing' they do not command a great deal of money pricewise. :)
