THREE SCOTTISH MADE SPLIT SIZES ALL 7 1/2 INCHES TALL. THE INSIDE ONE IS GOVANCROFT MADE AND THE OUTSIDE TWO ARE MADE BY BUCHAN POTTERS
A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE DIFFERENT SIZES AVAILABLE IN CROWN CAPS. THE SMALLEST IS 5 3/4 INCHES TALL AND THE TALLEST IS 9 1/2. NOTICE THAT THE TALLEST BOTTLE IS ALSO A SLIMLINE WHICH IS ANOTHER SHAPE/SIZE VARIANT FOUND IN CROWN CAPS
THREE REALLY GOOD ENGLISH PICTORIALS
THREE IRISH BOTTLES HERE INCLUDING A VERY RARE BLUE TOP AND A SLIMLINE SPLIT SIZE
VERY HARD TO FIND IN EITHER VARIANT. THE ALL WHITE IS BOURNE POTTERS 1926 AND THE TWO TONE BOURNE 1936.
IM SURE EVEN IF YOU DONT LIKE CROWN CAPS YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED NOT TO FIND THESE TWO SERIOUSLY RARE BOTTLES BEAUTIFUL.IM TRYING TO GET TWO MORE VARIANTS IN CROWN CAP WHICH ARE THE CHAMPAGNE SHAPE SPLIT SIZES (7 1/5 INCHES TALL) WITH LIGHT AND DARK TOPS
THE LYNROCK EXAMPLE WAS FOUND IN THE OUTHOUSE OF A DESERTED COTTAGE SITTING ON A DUSTY SHELF WITH ANOTHER GINGER ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO BY TWO HIKERS.
NICE GROUP OF SCOTTISH SPLIT SIZES - IM AFTER THE VARIATION OF THE BAILDON SPLIT WHICH COMES WITH A DARKER TOP
I PURCHASED THE TENNANT SPLIT FROM AMERICA AND IT WAS MADE IN SCOTLAND BY POSSIL.IVE HEARD THAT TENNENT SOLD ALE TO CUBA AND THAT THE CUBANS WANTED STONEWARE BOTTLES EVEN AFTER MOST HAD GONE OVER TO GLASS.DONT KNOW IF THIS BOTTLE ENDED UP IN CUBA AT SOME TIME BUT I ALSO HAVE A LARGER SIZE WITH MATCHING PRINT WHICH IS ALSO POSSIL MADE.
THREE MORE SPLITS AND IVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE WILSONS IS REALLY QUITE RARE. CAN ANYONE SHED ANY LIGHT ON THIS ?
HERES ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE DIVERSITY FOUND IN CROWN CAP GINGERS - SHOULDERED LONG NECKS.
THESE LITTLE GEMS DESERVE TO BE PICTURED INDIVIDUALLY. THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS THE OPEN PRINT VERSION OF THE 5 1/2 INCHES TALL BUCHAN MADE SPLIT SIZE SKITTLE.SADLY I SOLD THIS ONE WHEN TIMES WERE HARD AND NEED TO FIND ANOTHER
PICTURES SAY IT ALL
THE REEVE BOTTLE ON THE LEFT IS A DUMPY IN AND FOR SOME REASON THIS SHAPE IS QUITE UNCOMMON IN CROWN CAPS. THIS BOTTLE MAY BE UNLISTED SO I COULD USE SOME LOCAL KNOWLEDGE IF ANYONE CAN HELP.
GREEN, BLUE AND RED TOP EXAMPLES
AFTER SPLIT SIZE BOTTLES MY NEXT LOVE IS STANDARD SIZE HONEY GLAZE CHAMPAGNE SHAPES. THREE SCARCE EXAMPLES HERE
MORE HONEY GLAZED EXAMPLES WITH A FRIDAY AFTERNOON DOVER BOTTLE FROM BOURNE DENBY.THE PRINT ON THIS ONE IS SLIGHTLY BLURRED - HOW DID THIS ONE GET THROUGH THEIR STRICT QUALITY CONTROL
THE BOTTLE FROM THE HIGHLAND AERATED WATERS TAIN IS QUITE DIFFICULT TO FIND.TOOK ME SOME TIME TO GET ONE WITHOUT ANY LIP DAMAGE.
HAD TO FEATURE THESE BOTTLES BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL VERY LOCAL TO WHERE I LIVE.
