GS SEALED HANDLED ENGLISH ONION WINE BOTTLE. 8.1ins tall. A very special offering in the form of an English onion wine bottle form carrying a large, extremely crisply struck, body seal with the initials G S. Wonderful, super crud, hand applied handle. Comes with an old hand written envelope: This is the decanter out of which the murderers of Archbishop Sharp received refreshment from Grizel Stobie. 17th Century belongs to Charles Browns Heirs. Lip section missing plus body crack - whole seems perfectly stable? Still a significant black glass form of exceptional rarity, with strong Scottish connections.
