A sealed wine bottle, dated 1799, and a Ricketts sealed bottle

Both of dark olive tint, one of squat cylinder form with a medium/wide body and kick-up base, the seal inscribed 'Wm Eddy Cornelly 1799', 23.3cm high, the Ricketts bottle of moulded cylinder form, the seal inscribed 'Wm Martyn Ruan', the shoulder inscribed 'PATENT' and the base 'H RICKETTS & Co GLASS WORKS BRISTOL', 26.9cm high (2)

Footnotes

See David Burton, Antique Sealed Bottles (2015), p.816 for the dated bottle and p.1197 for the Ricketts bottle. Both bottles were exhibited at The County Museum, Truro, in 1976. The dated bottle is the only recorded example known bearing this seal and Burton notes that a William Eddy was baptised at Cornelly in Cornwall on 24 November 1768. The seal on the Ricketts bottle probably refers to Ruan Lanihorne in Cornwall and only one other example bearing this seal has been recorded, now in Bristol Museum & Art Gallery.
