Dating from the second quarter to the middle of the 17th century; they have a shorter neck than later shaft and globe bottles, and a globular body.

The three original bottles on the right date (from left to right) to c.1645-1650, c.1645-1655 and c.1645-1655 respectively. Their heights are 16.4cm, 17.5cm and 15.1cm.

Most of our early shaft and globe bottles hold at least 700ml, but for the purists we have also made some smaller versions, similar in size to several of the few known original bottles.
