Description: | Dark green glass wine bottle of onion shape. The body is complete but the neck and rim are broken. There is a circular glass seal on the body showing a three masted sailing ship with the initials F//T/E arranged in a triangle above (the F being above and between the T and E). This arrangement of initials indicates it belonged to a married couple with a surname beginning with F, the husbands name begain with T and the wives with E. The shape suggests a date of c.1680-1720 AD. It is 116.2mm tall and 131mm in diameter.
There was a label with the bottle saying it had been found in Bank Station in 1897. This would fit with the construction date of Bank as sections opened in 1898 and 1900. The object was inherited by the current owners who are not sure of its origin. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
