    Stoneware Jug, Tooled Pictorial Med, Blob Top - 9/2/2024

    Went out on a bottle hunt yesterday (Sept. 2nd). Before I could put my shovel in the mud I saw the top of a jug sticking out of the mud. It is a mineral water jug and has the stamp of the German Imperial eagle. Around the edges it reads: 'Ober-Selters Nassau'. Under the jug's handle is scrawled...

    Stoneware Jug of Nassau Ober-Selters, Rumford Chemical Works, and local med. 7/31/2024

    I found a new digging location. This one seems to have been topped off in 1910. I only just began excavating today, here are some finds: I saw one of these little German-imported jugs at a bottle show once, I really wanted it but I figured I would eventually find one, it took me 5 years but...

    19th Century Cobalt Glazed Ceramic Inkwell

    Was excavating a 100+ year old area today and just as the sun began to set I discovered this amazing hand painted glazed ceramic inkwell. It appears to be a type used in the early 19th century for quill pens, though I am still not quite certain as to the proper name for this style of inkwell...

    Stoneware Ginger Beer Bottle - Buchan Portobello Pottery

    I was searching the woods today around where an old Victorian mansion once stood and found the scattered fragments of a ceramic bottle. I collected the fragments and reconstructed what I had to make this: It isn't complete but there is more than enough to see one full side, and it just so...

    I dug up fragments of this stoneware jug and pieced them back together. The jug is incomplete but has a fascinating history. It was made for H. C. Bohack Co. which was a family owned chain of grocery stores founded in 1887 by German immigrant Henry Christian Bohack. Henry C. Bohack: Bohack...

    1 Gallon Stoneware Jug

    This is a jug I reconstructed from fragments. I couldn't find all of the pieces so the jug is incomplete, it was good practice though! Maybe one day I'll fill in the holes with plaster. :D

    19th c. Stoneware: 1 and 1/2 Gallon Crock

    New location, new riverbank, new stoneware. A 1 and 1/2 gallon storage crock. Managed to find one of the broken-off peices, quite confident the other piece may be burried near by, otherwise a fair bit of restoration work is required. If anyone has any additional information about this...

    Queen Victoria's Toothpaste

    I was digging for bottles in a new site last year when I found the lid to a stoneware toothpaste tub. It has the Imperial Crest of Queen Victoria on it as well as the words "by appointment" under it. I did some research and found out the "by appointment" designation means the product was in use...
