More On Water Containers.
I have done a fair amount of research on 17th & 18th century water bottles, & I still find it difficult to know how some items are dated late, & others early. Personally I find little difference if any between some of them, & I can only assume they be dated re the site date. This though does not always hold true, as early items can easily have been used at a later date. However, I show you here a selection from early to late 18th century, & I guess we must date them as such until we can come up with something more positive.
I like the PA German wooden water bottle. The carving makes it special.
ReplyDeleteGreat info. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI have one water container here from the 18th century. I live in Bulgaria, and here we call it Damadjanah. Try to look for those, pretty neat if used properly. :) Thank you for the nice blog!
