ENGLISH SEALED SHAFT & GLOBE WINE BOTTLE. 8.1ins tall, c. 1665-70. This second bottle bears delightful patina covering the point where the seals once (as prvious lot suggesting removal before burial - m ost likely deliberately knocked off with a chisel? Even unsealed early Shaft & Globe forms are considerable rarities but the apparent seal removal here, & place of discovery/ Coventry/ Croome Court connection we believe adds to its antiquarian interest. Additional images can be found on easyliveauction.com. Apart from the magnificent gold irridescence covering almost the entire form this item is relatively complete with just a section of the string rim absent. Still ‘oozes’ great character. NR
