Description
Antique "Meeks Ink" 20oz Stoneware Bottle Circa.1886-1920's. Lovely Order.
A couple of minute nibbles per photograph four otherwise no damage we could see.
Circa. 21cm tall and 8cm in diameter at the base.
In an archaeological report http://www.cfgheritage.com/2008_72pipitea.pdf information about Meek's Inks is quoted from 'Old New Zealand Bottles and Bygones', Tasker, J. 1989, Heinemann Reed, Wellington.
It says the company W. J. Meek moved from London [62 City Road, E.C.] to Dunedin in 1886/1887 and that Meek's stopped using stoneware bottles in the 1920s.
An ad in the Evening Post, Vol XXXIII, 43, 21 February 1887, p4 gives the address "Courtenay-Place,Wellington" for W. J MEEK.
