Gallery Of Glass For Sale - Mid 17th to late 18th century Bottles - Early Shaft and Globe Bottles

Ordering, Postage, Payment, Import Duty & Safety

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.

These are individual vessels that are in stock and can be purchased as seen.

The pale green bottles were left over from an order for a television series (that rhymes with 'pitcher'!) .
