Title
A Post Medieval glass bottle seal (c.1660).
Description
English: A Post Medieval glass bottle seal (c.1660). This fragment of a green glass bottle includes the majority of the seal that would have sat on the body of the bottle below the shoulder. The seal is stamped on an oval lump of molten glass which was applied to the body of the bottle. The seal is marked with three rectangular letter stamps. The letter stamps are arranged I A with R above. The letters stand in relief to the seal and probably represent the initial of the husband (possibly the trader or manufacturer), the initial of the wife and the initial of the surname above.

Hazel Forsyth suggests a date of c. 1660.

Dimensions: length of seal: 42.95mm; width of seal: 35.84mm; weight: 21.17g.
