A silver-mounted sealed onion wine bottle

A silver-mounted sealed onion wine bottle, dated 1719, the squat body of an olive green hue, applied with a seal bearing the name 'Henry Ceane' and the date 1719, the neck with a 20th century silver mount bearing faint Birmingham hallmarks, 16.2cm high.

The surname 'Ceane' appears to have been based in the Devon and Cornwall area in the early 18th century. The 1706 will of Richard Eare of Saltash mentions a Henry Ceane who was a merchant in Plymouth.
