PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Wicker Covered Bottles and Jars and in the
Manufacture thereof.
I WILLIAM HENRY HUNT of 44 Renshaw Street Liverpool in the county of
Lancaster Basket Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
The invention relates to large sized stone earthenware or glass bottles or jars
having a protecting casing of wickerwork secured thereto. Hitherto such casings
have been made entirely of wickerwork and have had the disadvantage that the
bottom has soon worn out and the wickerwork has had to be renewed. Now the
object of my invention is to obviate this disadvantage and consists,
First. In combining the bottles or jars with a wicker work covering for the sides
and a solid bottom of wood or suitable material.
Second. In weaving around the bottle wickerwork containing through pieces
extending beyond the bottom of the bottle or jar and inserted into radial holes in the
wood or other bottom.
