This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ... and cork-fitted stoppers, to which a small spoon is attached whereby to take the snuff out of the bottle (No. 159). It will be noticed that No. 157 represents the old Chinese motive of the squirrel and grapes.-No. 160. Gourd-shaped bottle. No. 161. Triple gourd-shaped bottle. No. 162. Pilgrim bottle. These are made flat so as to wear on the person by means of a cord passed through the four loops on the bottle. No. 163. Sprinkler.

The Dutch imported great numbers of them, and they were used for holding unguents. Persian Ob Mohammedan Shapes. No. 168. Persian wine-or water-bottle. No. 169. Pear-shaped water-bottle. No. 170. Water-ewer. There is often a basin in conjunction with these.
