Sack bottle
Not on view
Pear-shaped delftware bottles were produced in the potteries of Southwark and Lambeth, England, throughout the seventeenth century. Many of these simple bottles were inscribed with just the name of the spirit and the date in blue underglaze. This example once contained sack, a dry, sweet wine from Spain or Portugal.
