No probs , I love bottles and always pick them up if I find something interesting about them .They are unburdened by artistic angst !, l’m looking this one up at the moment.

Old bottle?? or one caught in a fire. With what i have read the bubbles mean a cold pour, also known as a dirty pour, I also read that there were ones call wobbly tops.

Well made it despite the cold. i had left a hole in the ground and let the land owner know. Returned today and... another 5 shippams paste jars! only one bit of broken china and nothing else. All in the same area, i have left the jars with the land owner in case she wants any of them. Problem is a felled tree trunk is right in the dig path so will have to get creative in a way of moving it. It could be next Monday before I go back and clean and collect the jars.... maybe I should change my name from photoimp to Mr Shippam!!

Went back to the dig area on Monday. only had an hour spare and a tree trunk had to be moved away from the present hole. And yes two more shippams paste jar and a Milton amber bottle. The Milton is the third I've found in the area. Hope to have more time on my hands on Monday to dig a lot more!!
