642. YORKSHIRE SEALED WINE
BOTTLE. 10.4ins tall. (Burton p682)
Black/ dark olive glass. Slightly
shorter neck, double collar lip, deep
base smooth pontil. Seal reads I F/
1745. Dated indistinctly 1745 or 43,
which is earlier than the manufacture
date judged by the style of the bottle
to 1800-1810. Attributed to John
Fothergill of Kingthorpe Hall, near
Pickering in Yorkshire on account
of an example bought from the sale
of the hall’s contents by York Castle
Museum. The date is likely a family
anniversary commemorative. Burton
suggests it may have been made
at the Gawber Glassworks, near
Barnsley but also lists other ‘I.F,’
seals including a Rickets bottle dated
1822 on p859/60. Mint. Ex Maurice
Collins Collection. NR. £80-120+
641. SEALED WINE BOTTLE.
9.5ins tall. (Burton p1426)
c.1860s. Black/ light brown
glass. Shorter neck compared
to others, unusual flat lip,
pontil base. Seal is arms of
Baron King surmounted by a
Baron’s coronet with two mastiff
supports. Burton proposes
that since these bottles have
a Baron’s coronet they were
raised to an Earl in 1838. A
few of these were recovered
from the remains of Fryern
Hall, Storrington in Sussex. The
Worthing Museum holds two
and a detached seal. Maybe 6+
examples. Mint. 10/10 NR. £60-
80+
