Bottles and Jars

The other day, at low water, I found a little glass bottle on the beach. I haven't done much cleaning of it, but here it is amongst the collection on the back window sill. It is the one with the lichen round the neck.

All of these have come from either the beach or have been dug out of the garden. The brown earthenware ones are rennet jars. They would have been bought to use for cheese making. You find a lot of broken ones, and bits of pottery, but finding whole jars and bottles is quite exciting!
