the Magic of…
“Old bottles are beautiful. The glass is flecked with air bubbles and tears; the stoneware burned to a fine gritty texture never seen on modern pottery… And were are these bottles to be found? The fact is that they are all around us – in rivers, in ponds and in long-forgotten rubbish dumps…. Millions of 19th-century bottles were exported from Britain as food and drink containers and as ships´ballast… Dig any 19th-century dump in North America or Australia – and you will find British bottles of that period….” Edward Fletcher, Bottle Collecting, 1972

…two as a contrast
Digger Kilroy burrows into the earth for Victorian bottles. Alan Klein makes bottles in his spare time. Glass, surfaces, topology, history – all have the potential to melt together in this short documentary.Ian Digger Kilroy: Heres a vid made by luke moody,i did with him a while back to help spread the word, it was entered into a number of film festivals with a bit of success, im sure there is scope to do something much more commercial if the right site came up. Bottle Digging and Bottle Blowing – Ian Digger Kilroy resume the pure quality aspects of consistency with a secret of the snails. must seen between! spiritschweppes.com

Hello i am kavin, its my first time to commenting anywhere, when i read this
post i thought i could also make comment due to
this good article.
I seldom leave a response, but after reading a bunch of comments on Bottle-Digging and Collecting | spiritSchweppes since 1783.
I actually do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to
mind. Is it only me or do a few of these remarks appear like
they are left by brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are posting on additional sites, I’d like to follow you.
Could you post a list of the complete urls of all your social community sites like your linkedin profile,
Facebook page or twitter feed?
