A rare sealed 'Shaft and Globe' wine bottle, circa 1660-65In green glass, the wide squat form with a long tapering neck trailed with a prominent string rim, the shoulder applied with a circular seal moulded with a Goose on a Gridiron, with a shallow 'kick-up' base, 22.8cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceRecovered from the River Thames at WappingDavid Burton CollectionLiteratureDavid Burton, Antique Sealed Bottles (2015), pp.941-2Only three other 'Shaft and Globe' wine bottles bearing this London seal are recorded, all of which are in the Museum of London (inv. nos.A10692-4) and all recovered from Kingsway, High Holborn. They all date to within about five years of one another, indicating that more than one order was placed by the tavern keeper during a limited period. The seal can be associated with a Swan or Goose tavern, perhaps the Lyre and Swan at the west end of St Paul's Churchyard, which subsequently became the Goose and Gridiron in the early 1700s. As this is slightly later than the date of this bottle, it is just possible that the seal relates to a Swan tavern as there were so few Goose taverns in London at this time.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
