Each is of tall cylindrical form and was made for storing beer, mineral water, or spirits. The base is marked with impressed initials, a practice European potteries used to identify the kiln or maker. Plain, well-proportioned utilitarian pieces that work as bud vases or as sculptural objects on a shelf or mantel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Type | Stoneware bottles, pair\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Material | Salt-glazed stoneware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Origin | European, unconfirmed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Age | 19th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Glaze | Iron-brown salt glaze\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Marks | Impressed initials to the base\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Size | 11 in H x 2.75 in Dia, each\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Quantity | Two, sold as pair or individually \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBoth bottles are structurally sound and retain their glaze with only light surface scuffs and expected wear from age.
