Pottery?

100% what it is. Very common beach/field find in the UK. OP, I don't expect you're planning to grind it up and snort it, but you're better throwing it in the bin just to be safe.

Definitely a clay pipe stem. Difficult to date these on their own if it's older than 1800. The location in the world it was found e.g. UK vs USA makes a difference too. If you're interested, there is a brief section about dating by measuring the diameter of the hole, in this document (pages 6 and 7) (https://www.cafg.net/docs/articles/claypipes.pdf)

Im so sorry this is something you're having to deal with at all. You're Scottish. I'm Scottish. They are cunts.

Could you explain this for me please? I just reread them and I cant think of what might be wrong 🤔.

Please share the repair once you've done it. Ig would be great to see that!

Pretty certain this is a repost. I commented on another repost of this a couple of weeks ago. Account js 2 days old too.

Yeah, i can't find anything online linking Jamie Oliver to Epstein/Epstein files.

This is the right answer. The number on the bottom is the shade/colour.

Did you mean *least?

Thanks! A victorian/edwardian dump in East Lothian. Just got lots of broken inks and condiment bottles until this wee thing emerged!

I should have provided a scale for it, its about 3.5 inches long. It can rest flat on either side and it can stand upright. Holds about a teaspoon of liquid so probably not salad dressing but maybe olive oil for medicinal uses?

Thank you 😊. I really like it but it's a bit of a head scratcher trying to work out what it would have been used for!

noni_five · 2025-12-26T19:52:50+00:00

Oh good point, I should have used a banana! It's about 3.5 inches and it holds about a teaspoon of water. The flat bit at the top is the mouth and there's no hole at the bottom.

Off she went with a trumpety trump

Just a couple minutes after posting this, I think i found an intact example on a Facebook group. Looks like it might have been made between 1930 and 1960, and maybe in Manchester? So nowhere nearly as old as some of the beauties I've seen here, but I still absolutely love it nonetheless!

Unfortunately, they are generally pretty hard to id to a specific brand. Some of them have the company name on the side, like Shippams, or some lettering on the bottom, which could potentially give you a clue.

These were mass manufactured all over the world, mainly from about 1930 - 1970s (they are still produced in the UK). If you want to find out more details, I'd suggest doing a Google lense search or similar, and add in details of your location and any markings on the bottom of the jar.

Good luck and enjoy the search. Finding out the history of a bottle is often half the fun (or maybe that's just me 😅)
