Articles.
This is where you will find a number of different articles researched and written by one or both of us. Some of these have been publised elsewhere in a slightly modified form, usually in one of the British specialist collectors publications (BBR or ABC-UK). We will add new articles to this page from time to time. Interesting contributions from other collectors would also be welcome.

| Arthur Parish Morton, of Boston in Lincolnshire, was a Grocer, baker and a bottler of mineral waters. He was also Jerry's great-Grandfather. Along with tens of millions of other Europeans his life, and that of his family, was completely transformed in the upheaval of 1914 - 1918. |
| An article pondering what it is that makes some bottles 'historically important' and others not, regardless of monetary value or rarity. |
| A guide to British pontils and pontil marks. There is a lot of confusion about UK vs US vs French, 'Dutch', etc marks, and a lot of mistakes are made by collectors as a result of this confusion. Hopefully this article will help. This page will develop over the next year or two as various pieces of research and surveys of collections are completed. |
| This will eventually include a series of articles on different aspects of (amongst other things) British impressed and slab sealed stoneware bottles and flasks. Starting small, but with big ambitions! |
| Other articles will be added to this page every month or two, including various pieces of 'Guest' writing, we hope! |
