Here's a really nice and rare transitional shaft & globe to onion bottle that dates to around 1690s, it has a beautiful gold patina and is quite delicate . It is completely intact except for the chips on the lip which were caused by prying the cork out..and quite normal for bottles of that era. I found it buried while digging in one of my favourite spots where I have found lots of other early pieces. I have done some preservation work to it and it is now quite stable.
