Hello All, I really felt like a long haired leaping gnome when package arrived from UK. I've awaited a chance to purchase this form of English wine bottle(circa 1690) at a reasonable price. It has several nibbles on the string rim but I guess thats why I could afford it. At a whopping 5.25" tall and 5.50" wide it meets the criteria of a true early onion form and weighing in a 3lbs it is a solid chunk of glass. Tim

Good for you. That's a fine old piece of glass.
