There is a field by me which has dozens of these intact (and many more bust) bottles just lying around on the surface. I don't know if they are ceramic but I think they are.
The only identifying mark is a little indent at the bottom as if someone has pushed their fingernail into the clay and then written 'SKEY' on it.
A quick google throws up the possibilty of George Skey who produced ceramic Ink Bottles in the 19th Century in Tamworth, England but I am in Scotland and wouldn't have thought so many would be turning up unless they were produced here too?
So can anyone ID it? And why would someone throw away so many perfectly good bottles into a field?
