Featured Antique Ointment Pots & Jug Stoppers?

Bought this collection today

Google Lens shows similar pots as 17th century Delft (White Albarello) ointment pots.

Most sites describe the marbles as 17 century marbles to play with, but according to one site I found, such marbles were used as (bartmann) jug stoppers.
Maybe both descriptions are right? (as my father used to play marbles with the glass marbles from Codd-neck bottles)

Are these items indeed that old?

 

couldn't tell you squat about them bud, but they all look interesting pieces and a lovely selection of pottery
and why do they all seem so happy together ?

 

Buy it...then figure out what the heck u have !!!!!!!!

A nice collection !!!!

 

The pot had price stickers of a previous owner on them. The prices were surprisingly high to me, as I thought these were fairly new pieces. The marbles did look old, so this made me think the pots could actually be older than I (and the seller) thought.
And, the price I had to pay was good enough to take a chance

Speaking of 'take a chance': I bought this together with an Abba record ... in Spanish (but it doesn't contain 'Take a chance on me' ). Not an Abba fan, and not a fan of Spanish but the combination made it fun enough to buy.
And 5 stamp albums were also included in the deal.
If these are indeed 17th century pot, the sale price I 've seen for single similar pots, is already more than what I've paid for all the items

 

stamps in the albums ..????

 

A Spanish-language ABBA record? I'd have bought that too. The marbles look a lot like some my dad's grandfather had. My father inherited them since his Grandpa died in about 1943. That would imply the bottles are of a similar age; I agree.

 

Yes. Not all albums are completely filled, but still a lot of stamps, from various countries, including some from countries that you don't often find in collections here, such as Upper Volta, Cuba, Nepal, Mongolia, Chad and Canada .
Some early 20th century, but most from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
The stamps I checked online so far, don't have much value. Most have ebay asking prices of around $1 - $1.50.
Albums I bought earlier this year, included more old stamps. i think some were from late 19th century (and still not worth much ). And there were also a few from Germany, with a certain someone on them

 

Those are interesting pots and marbles. Don't see why marbles wouldn't have been used as stoppers. Whether 17thc or not, I dunno.

 

Love the little pots.

 

I think the collection is cool! A variety of interesting pieces.

 

Me Too !, they just all seem so.......

 

Now I'm gonna have that song in my head all day! (There's worse things, I guess.)

 

Are any of those balls metal? They look like musket balls

 

All seem to be clay marbles
