The Ohio whiskey industry produced some notable liquor companies that released their liquor in the types of stoneware whiskey jugs that were commonly used by all distillers at the time.

One of the most prized forms of old pottery bottles are the ginger beer bottles that were made as far back as the mid-1700s. In these early days ginger beer was an alcoholic beverage that was sweetened with honey or molasses and given additional ingredients such as ginger root and lemons for taste.

Towards the end of the 18th century ginger beer was introduced to the United States and Canada with large quantities shipped over in their stoneware bottles. These stoneware bottles were made to a very high standard using a process that was called “Improved Bristol Glaze”.

The manufacture of the bottles themselves was hand thrown by potters who made them to a rather individual standard. This resulted in some of the more unique looking bottles that are now highly prized among collectors. The bottles were slip glazed and were marked with the bottler’s name and the city in which it was made as well as the date.

With the advancement in manufacturing techniques taking over we saw the appearance of a new gray stoneware bottle. These bottles were more uniform in appearance and were stamped with various logos and designs. Along with the more precise standards to which they were made the newer bottles were also finished with a more colourful glaze and the detail of the stamped logos was also greatly enhanced as a marketing ploy to attract the eye of buyers.

One of the reasons why stoneware bottles were popularly used to store liquids such as ginger beer was because it helped to keep the contents cool. With the introduction of refrigerators as well as changes in health standards there was less need to use stoneware with a preference for glass.

At the peak of production of ginger beer there were as many as 3,000 ginger beer breweries in England and around 300 in the United States before Prohibition was signed into law. The disappearance of the breweries does not alter the fact that there are many different types of stoneware ginger beer bottles to be discovered and displayed. They make unique decorative objects with some of them commanding hefty prices that also makes them valuable works of art.

Ginger beer bottles are just as eagerly collected as the larger stoneware whiskey jugs such as those from well known distillers. Look for quality stoneware such as McCormick Platte Valley whiskey jugs, Henry McKenna whiskey jugs and Glenmore whiskey jugs. Antique stoneware is also available in the form of objects such as The Western Stoneware Company crocks and jugs.

There are many ways in which a kitchen can be given a slightly authentic old-style feel by the addition of a simple piece of storage that many might overlook. The old fashioned wire egg basket is the simplest concept for storing eggs yet it provides a definite charm and is perfect for placing eggs or other items into as a decorative display on the kitchen bench.

When the eggs were gathered as part of the morning chores the wire egg basket was invariably the utensil that was used. It was light and was capable of holding many eggs, some of which were not always the cleanest but the nature of the wire bars would allow any dirt or other matter to fall off the eggs and onto the ground. When the eggs were collected they could be brought inside and laid on the kitchen bench for easy access.

These days these same wire egg baskets are making a stunning return, being used again in the kitchen or on the dining table as a handy display item. Because the basket allows you to see the contents due to the nature of the wire bars, it makes the ideal type of bowl for highlighting the contents.

It is possible to use a metal egg basket as a fruit container or as a means of holding a dried flower arrangement. There are many different ways in which they can be used.

We don’t see good quality wire egg baskets these days, certainly not made with the same durable methods as the antique ones once were. The older egg baskets have a definite air about them and add the type of atmosphere to the room, perfect for enhancing the traditional country kitchens into which they merge perfectly.

Although it is not a good idea to put all of your eggs into one basket, some of the vintage wire egg baskets that are still available for sale will make it tempting. To avoid such a fate it might be necessary to buy a collection of wire egg baskets such as the very decorative 3-tier wire egg baskets that are occasionally available or perhaps a wire chicken egg basket that is actually shaped like a chicken will provide a more delightful display.

For homes where space is an issue and there will not be the room to store an egg basket for those occasions when you have eggs to store, the answer is to buy a folding wire egg basket that expands into shape as needed.
