This is a sensational bottle, larger than the usual SACK bottles and of great form. This rare English Delft white wine bottle, dated 1647 in blue is of globular form with molded rim, the applied scroll handle with pointed terminal, inscribed and dated “SACK 1647” within a dashed looped border. It is unusual with this undulating line with cross hatches centering the usual SACK/1647 decoration.
