The Croome Court Shaft & Globes
At the beginning of 2020 BBR 162 magazine fully covered one of the most significant discoveries of early wine bottles ever made in the UK - in a
tree lined garden area
just a short distance
from Croome Court. Guy Burch dug deep to provide an incredible background provenance.
The bottle offered here was the very best of the discovered shaft and globe wine bottles - a highly significant very early English form. The new owner will be given
a complimentary issue of the magazine carrying the full story.
Sent to Coventry from London
The recently JCB’d amazing Worcester shaft and globes hoard has a premier pedigree of two Earls and a Baron, and were most
likely made in some of Britain’s earliest
and most important glasshouses.
