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.
