A stoneware bottle with a short corked neck, salt-glazed to a hard mottled brown that shrugs off knocks. Where glass is prized for letting a buyer see the contents, ceramic is prized for surviving the journey — a carter’s bottle of small beer rides in a saddlebag for a week and arrives whole. It cannot be seen into, which is either a drawback or a convenience. 2 pint capacity.
