Purchased from Wynn Sayman. This is another of those English things produced purely for amusement.
Whimsy pipe, unglazed, England, 1800

Ginger beer bottle, stoneware, Glasgow, 19th century
John Howe Mebane was said to be very fond of ginger beer, and the bottles were lined up to border the flower beds. I dug a broken bottle almost identical to this one in the back yard.

Shards
We have found dozens of fragments of 19th century ceramics out in the yard. These have come in various featheredge designs, printed plates and bowls, various types of glazed pottery, and mocha ware. The property has been gone over several times with metal detectors. We have come upon a lot of iron, including hoes and axes, several buttons, a couple of coins, but no pot of gold yet!
