These stoneware bottles are some of the first bottles I put on my shelf. I am still not certain where they are from or what they were used for. I have always thought (with no proof) that these were British-made bottles.
There is no debossing at all. I noticed when photographing them a few minutes ago that the taller one is coated on the inside with lampblack or black soot. That suggests leather dressing, harness or shoe. The smaller of the two has that bronze color glaze common to Denby Pottery.
Can anyone here tell me something about these trumpet-mouth bottles?
