I've started the process of identifying my shards and bottles from my most recent dig.
Here's what I've found so far!
Stoneware Shard
This shard belongs to a crock or jug like these two I found online
California Fig Syrup Bottle Shard
This shard belonged to a bottle like this one
Here are some old ads for California Fig Syrup that I found online
Higgins Ink Bottle, 3/4 oz size
The original bottle looked something like this
Tournades Kitchen Bouquet Bottle
The original bottle packaging would look somewhat like this. I couldn't find any bottles with original labeling, just a package.
Here is an advertisement for the bottle and a nice crate I found
Amazing find-Heinz Tomato Ketchup Bottle with original labelling!
There is a certain spot in my dump that produces bottles with original labelling, still intact! Here is one of them, a generic Heinz bottle. It's kind of hard to see, but if you look close enough you can make it out!
An original Heinz Tomato Ketchup bottle like this one would like like this
Here's another labelled bottle, some sort of sauce, probably a chili sauce bottle based on the shape of the bottle and the "C" on the label.
Chili Sauce bottles were usually shaped somewhat like this
Nice Milk Glass Cold Cream Jar
Tiny Milk Glass Cold Cream Jar!
Green Hazel Atlas Depression Glass Berry Bowl Shard
The Hazel Atlas mark was visible on the bottom, making identification easier for me
The original bowl would have looked somewhat like this
Egg Cup Shard
I believe this is either the bottom or the top to a double egg cup, like this one
This particular egg is cup is plain. Egg cups came in different patterns and sizes, like these
Milk Glass Pitcher Shard
The original would have looked somewhat like this, but without the band. I could not find a matching picture without the band
Royal Ironstone China Chamberpot Shard
The original would have looked like this
More Shards and Relics
I found some interesting and beautiful shards. The ones pictured below have not been identified yet, but they were too pretty not to post!
Thanks for reading!
