A great, very contemporary looking mid 19th century Scottish agateware bottle flask. Agateware was created by the mixing of two different clay bodies to form a marble-like finish; probably always intended as a decorative piece rather than utilitarian, country pottery like this was an affordable option of ornamentation for the cottage dwelling classes of the time. No chips or cracks, but the bottom has unfortunately been broken and re-glued at some point- as shown. H 21.5 cm x W 15 cm
