The Knight Who Invented Champagne is the story of how developments in the British glass industry in the early part of the 17th century led to the production by Sir Kenelm Digby of strong glass bottles, the so-called verre Anglais. These 'shaft and globe' bottles, strong enough to contain the pressure of a second fermentation, led to the production of bottle-fermented sparkling wines and ciders.

This bottle lacks the crudeness of the early examples, retaining the 'onion-shaped' base though formed in a more polished, refined, Modernist style.

A 17th Century Japanese Porcelain Dish, Arita Kilns, Kanbun 寛文 (1663–1673) or Enpô 延宝 (1673 - 1681) Era. This thickly potted barbed rim dish depicts a pleasure boat, partly obscured by jagged overhanging rocks. A wine bottle cools in gentle waves, the only sign there might be people about, no one can be seen but there is a cover under the boats canopy. We are left only with speculation. The rich and varied tones of cobalt blue have been augmented but the addition of overglaze red iron oxide with additional highlights in gold and silver (now oxidized) .This unusual colour scheme is typical of this period within the 17th century, it seems to have been short lived. The rim is dressed with thick iron oxide enamel. The back is decorated in a grey blue, it is altogether different. Four long bold pairs of pine needles, two of which are bent, fill the back edge. The center has a large seal-mark between three spur-marks. SOLD
