BOTTLE, EARTHENWARE - FRAGMENT
Fragment from ceramic bottle. Fragment is part of the shoulder and neck. The neck has a dark blue glaze. On the lower edge is white glaze. On the lowest edge is a black line with a slight curve that appears to be a part of a logo or symbol.
Some of the dark blue glaze appears on the inside of the neck.
The fragment would have been thrown away into the rubbish pit once the contents were used and the bottle could serve no further use.
The Richon vineyard was originally planted by Joseph and Anton Marian in 1901 as Marians Vineyard with some locals referring to it as The Slavonian Vineyard. Joseph was Anton’s uncle and was originally from Austria.
A cellar was built at the site in 1906 but was almost completely burnt to the ground in 1914, it would be rebuilt and extended.
In 1919 the vineyard was sold to Gerald Valentine Patrick McCarthy who renamed it in 1920 to Richon after Rishon LeZion, a town in what is now Israel. McCarthy had spent time in the town during the First World War as an intelligence officer.
