Some super cool finds. I have the Marmalade jar i keep my pens in it.great video guys.stay safe...V....
I like the tripod view of you guys working from behind it makes me feel like I’m there watching!
their immersion level is always improving.
They became my top "Larking" channel
Except we cant join in, I would!
@@Cosmicorgasme I've made this comment on other #NorthernMudlarks videos, but I'll make it again; these ladies are the Gold Standard for mudlarking videos. 🥾 👢 🥾 👢
My youngest daughter and I are now avid watchers! So calming!
I got rid of all my plastic containers and replaced with glass and I recycle everything I possibly can.
Me, too. 💞
The open pontil vinegar is probably 1840- 1860. The bird on the Japanese plate is a stylized pheasant. It's a common motif in Asian ceramics.👍
Love how the bead strand keeps growing.
Ladies! That type is so deep! It's unbelievable that you found it! You truly must have Mudlarking Angels on your shoulders!
Have you thought about making a resin tabletop or a resin wallhanging? You could mount some things in there.
I loved how you cast the BearMonkey in silver!
Alex,you are so adorable when you get excited! You’re still the bead queen! Thank you for another adventure!! Love the giant ink bottle, and the stopple bopper!
I wants a shirt that says "dig me a stopple bopper" lol
Yes or a hat....
Me too either one!!
Good idea. I've found myself saying stopple boppers many times!
@@isalennox-moore7213 Shouldn't it be 'stopple botter'?
Great idea! I think "What is the alternative to all this?" would be a great t-shirt as well.
On my father's side, we are from Scotland. Before the (1800s) And the way things are said remind me of how pure and clean things used to be when I used to go and stay with my grandparents. Great English. And I love to hear the nice ladies, speak with such a sound dialect. Music to my ears.
That stamp is such a treasure! Obviously, YOU TWO ARE THE ALTERNATIVE. Without you, it would just be a load of worthless trash in a heap of mud. I found an old rusty truck battery shelf with heavy duty springs coming out of it that somebody painted a half fairy, half angel on it and it reads, "What are you waiting for?" across the top. I have it hanging over my bed now. I use the springs to prop up notes to remind me of things I need to get done. I take everything I find as a message. I don't believe in coincidences. Alex has the number 2 come up a lot. Gail, you also have 2 come up on all of your dominos. It could have something to do with the two of you and I am shocked at how often you find the same thing at the same time. It's almost as if there is a theme to each day you go out. I have the number 13 constantly popping up. I was born on the 13th. Crazy stuff!
Spending time doing what I wish I could do so much fun! A little Teddy Bear so cute and I loves Him!
Great finds nice to get a whole marmalade and that huge bulk ink, and the dump giving you and all of us a profound question to ponder
I loved it when Gail said “That’s Fab!!!!” ...... didn’t think she was that “mature” 😂😂😂😂
This was the MOST MEANINGFUL journey I have experienced with YOU BOTH.....SO many words to say......in just 1 sentence triggers thousands of years.
Trophy 🏆🏆 📹 History, 👍 DOCUMENTARY QUALITY
YOU BOTH JEWELS THAT I FOUND I CHERISH IN MY LIFE
TURNING MY BIG 70 THIS YEAR
HELPED ME BEYOND MEASURE
PIECE THE BROKEN PARTS OF MY PSYCHE......TURNING IT ALL INTO A PURPOSEFUL LIFE TONIGHT.
THANK YOU BOTH GAIL & ALEX 💋😘
Thank you so much for your lovely comment - it means a lot, and congratulations on your big 70! Never stop searching! xx
What a treasure trove! The lovely Venetian bead with dragged feather pattern has aventurine in it. This is a man-made glass known as "goldstone" in the U.S. The early Victorians used mica flecks to create sparkle. Aventurine was discovered by happenstance in Venice by melting soda-lime glass containing copper salts. These copper salts turned into metallic copper in the process. (When art and science go together -- oh, what miracles!) Hope you find lots more amazing beads! I especially admire the beads you both create. ❤
I really love this dump ladies hope you go back ..loved watching .
Oooh my favorite ladies!!!!
Dear J.W.
👍👌👏 Mine too, definitely!
Best regards luck and health.
I would love to see you do a mosaic table top or plant holder of all your pottery finds!
Yes!!!!
Yes!! And for pots in the kitchen.
Lovely Ladies,
Wonderful video once again. I wish I lived in an area where I had a lot of places in which I could explore, dig and all of the fun things you to do. You found many beautiful things. My favorites were all of the different varieties of bottles. I love the texture the crudeness of how they were made. The drips of glass and the natural imperfections. The colors are so vibrant compared to the colors here in the States. I love how the both of you light up with joy when your treasures are found. All of your finds are beautiful in there own way. Continue making your wonderful videos and also have a Merry time doing so. Take care and stay safe.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!🎄🎅
Thank you so much Debra! The old bottles defiantly make our modern bottles look very boring haha. Merry Christmas! xx
Nice haul from my local tip nice work girls.....xxxx
Thanks again Mike for the lovely red lens! xx
Bottle dump larking is my favourite, lots of interesting finds and loads of history it's the best, Thanks girls 👍👍👌👌xx
Amazing finds! A beautiful thing to watch today for me! Staying in due to freezing rain! Thanks so much for sharing this! I totally enjoy these videos!! Take care and good hunting
Love to listen to all the history!You two are so lovely!
Orange marmalade on buttered toast - so yummy! I have always loved it, even as a youngster in the US. It’s not as common as grape, strawberry, or “mixed fruit” jelly here, but it’s always been my favorite. So good with tea, too!
Type face and that MARBLE...OMG...LOVE IT!
I love your videos, I'm feeling sorry for myself today and seeing your lovely faces has brightened up my evening, you and kit and carbotle are so nice to watch ❤
I was thinking the little bear was the animal alternative to a Frozen Charlotte. It reminded me of her. I am also thinking you might want to change your name to the Northern Nightlarks. You two rarely see the light of day - you must be exhausted especially after making all of those wonderful projects for your Etsy shop. Great job all around! I appreciate the history that goes along with your finds as well.
The marmalade jar would be cool as a candle or a toothbrush holder!
So nice to see so many bottle finds..The cut glass bottle seems older than the rest, is like crystal glass..& I think the neck is called a BLOB top(?)..Very peculiar & have seen them being highly valued by others because of it..Love bottle digging 💕..
Love your work! A light coat of resin would make that marble look like new. A perfect way to preserve an old piece! Blessings!
I love that type face and the gorgeous marble!
oh and also my favorite was the amber stopper, so cool
Awesome clean up of your finds. Your excitement is contagious! In America, green glass like your bottles is often the oldest. Happy New Year!!
Love the video and agree with Alex the sentence is very relevant to the Climate crisis. Love that you show people how to upcycle 👍🏻👍🏻
I read about a ship sinking on the tyne with thousands of jars of keillors marmalade on board.
Hi lovely ladies, what an amazing video, loved every moment, (except when Alex dropped the bottle.) Fabulous finds, can't wait to see you make more beads with all that broken glass, one of the many answers to all this !. Much love Sue Gosling Adelaide south Australia
Love the beads! 💖
Idk about the UK, but here in the US people who have backyard chickens love them. I imagine you could cast and sell some replicas of the cockerel head. It would be really cute
I'm so excited with you and for you
I love your finds and what I love the most is your complicity connivance So passionate !
It's amazing that you find whole bottles they are so pretty. That type set is profound. It's gone from a dump to be cleaned up,and shown internationally. Talk about giving old things new life ladies that's what you are doing.
The Japanese pottery with the house is called lusterware 🙂
Did I see "Noritake" on the back? www.chinafinders.com.au/histnoritake.asp
My mom bought a set of Noritake [the makers of that bit of lustreware] stoneware dishes in the Painted Desert pattern. I now have them since mom passed away in 2018. They're very nice dishes.
If you could make a food-safe mould using that terracotta teddy you could make great chocolate teddies for gifts. Or you could make teddy soaps or bath bombs.
Hi G & A What a great dump and wonderful finds. I have a soft spot for the Urquhart bottle as my Maternal grandma was from the Urquhart line. Wendy x
We live on Urquhart St- we love that bottle too!
Love all the things you girls make, just beautiful things
So maybe you could take the type print and stamp a ribbon, and use the ribbon to wrap the internal packaging for your etsy shop mail orders... would make lovely bookmarks for customers that order from you.
i loved watching this video and all these surprising finds
I absolutely love driving to your destination with you girls at the beginning of your shows. In this show you have created two wonderful descriptions; "stopple bopper" and "chunky monkey". Stay safe and healthy from the U.S.A.
So many amazing finds 😮😊❤
What great finds.
Mind-blowing finds!
The bead with gold and swirls is beautiful. What a lovely find.
thankyou ...I enjoyed this ...luv from Queensland
Ladies, here in the u.s.a. old out houses are great for finding old bottles.
What a marvelous array of finds. Some unique bottles here. Just wow. The typeset - what a thing to find a whole sentence and a pondering sentence at that. Love it.
Love how you two are so bonded❤️ nothing is stronger in love❤️love love the beads, marbles and buttons🎶💕
This vidio popped up after another great mudlarker I watch so at first I thought it was a new one. Nope, a few months old but I watched it again anyway! Just as great this time. How could you keep the marble from cracking? The ink bottle was a real win! Please stay safe and be careful! ❤
So much to enjoy about this video! I like the round up at the end too! The stopple bopper brings to mind when my boys called a hot water bottle a 'hottle wottle bottle'. Their childhood was spent in Inverness. Wonderful memories.
i think people spray the mother of pearl button with hairspray to keep it from coming off on your hand if you wan to preserve it. you got the neatest stuff going to that dump spot id go back!!
I love the marmalade jar
This one is the best find to date. You found that type face, that asks a very deep question. Awesome!
What is the alternative to all this? This question instantly hit me in a very profound way. What is the alternative to life in general. Kind of like what is the meaning of anything? What is the alternative to anything in life if it wasn’t what it is, or how it is at this moment? I don’t think that I am explaining this very well. I have never been good at explaining myself. I think what makes this question so great is it could mean something different to every person that reads it.
Digging for treasures still is possible! Fascinating!
OMG! Gail! You toured with The Monkees!
Yes, I was head of wardrobe 1989 tour USA/Canada =)
@@NorthernMudlarks That's so cool! I was searching to see if you guys were all ok as your video was a little later that usual, and that popped up in the search. Much respect :)
WOW!
Oh wow, Gail. That;s cool about The Monkees.
Gail you were so lucky touring with the monkeys i loved them wouldent miss one of their programs.
Very good video! learning so much : ) thank you for all the extra time you add in, giving the history of some of these really lovely finds ~*~ Just love it all.
You had a lovely few days at that bottle dump, so many lovely finds. Its amazing the information you can find just with a few words you find on a bottle. It looked like finger marks on the base of the broken brown glazed stone wear bottle. Nice to see Gail wearing gloves. Thank you for sharing and stay safe
You can add the characters to your dump doll family
I found a terracotta bear just like yours for sale on eBay. According to the seller it belonged to his grandmother who passed away in the 90s. It is not a whistle he says but she kept it with her whistle collection.
I just got some interesting information and pictures from the kind eBay seller! I wonder how I can forward it to you. And by the way, I’m getting the lovely bear! Thank you for all you do!
I’m from the states. If I come vacationing in Scotland will you take me mudlarking or dump digging? I’ll pay. And I’ll be your best friend! As if I’ll ever get there. Husband and daughter have. You guys have WAY too much fun!
So enjoy your channel, stay safe 🙏 and have q lovely Christmas 🎄 Luv from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
You have a Rawson bottle stopper there to match the brown bottle
The broken top off the first two brown bottles - the top made a really interesting scoop. Especially if you needed to scoop up something and funnel it into a narrow opening - or put a rubber stopper in the lip opening to keep stuff from coming out of the ‘handle opening’ - it would be a perfect tool. Happy Larking!
The Japanese bird is probably a phoenix. She's a popular motif in both Chinese and Japanese art.
Love these videos
Livermore, Androscoggin (county) Maine, USA. I was born near there and have family who do live there. Cool history
Wow! That Marmalade jar was a smoker!!! How nice! A great hunt ladies as always. Stay safe & Happy Hunting! That is the alternative! Lol
I purchased a marmalade stoneware in a food store with the same design in about 1980. I used it for a pencile holder. I have looked for another but all packaging has reverted to glass. It must have been for a special anniversary promotion.
You ladies are wonderful. I love watching your adventures. And your beads are gorgeous. I'd be interested in buying some. Handmade beads from antique glass from across the world! Please let me know. Thank you.
So many nice treasures. Glad you saved them. Fantastic.
You ladies are soooo awesome. Thank you for sharing with us all.
Every beautiful glass bottle out of an old dump is a treasure nowadays :)
Love the funds!! The blue marble and the gold bead (it would have been actual gold dust) were my favorites until you ended the video with a profound question. That’ type is quite the find! Thank you for sharing these with us
The type comes from a Linotype which was invented in 1885. I grew up playing under a Linotype. It was the most amazing invention, its been compared to the delicacy of a fine watch. The column is typed in and the Linotype melts lead and casts each column line as a single unit. There are videos on this amazing invention.
Oh, that sounds interesting - thank you! xx
What a great finds! 😍
I was quite bummed you left that bed warmer behind.
Please, please, take it with you the next time. I will buy it from you instantly. I'll pay the shipping etc.
That thing really stole my heart, even with one side missing. I'm really serious, I would love to buy it.
I just love watching your videos 💞 see the big bed warmer at the start I know it was broken but you could put it on a wall and put a plant in it or even put it on a wall and see if a bird makes a nest in it ! Love all your beautiful things that you found 💞😊 stay safe 😷 merry Christmas 🎄xxx
I collect old trade beads, and the red beads definitely appear to be Czech--the larger of the two was made in a mould. The smaller one looks like it may have been as well. Look close to the sides, you'll see where the spatter colours abruptly end, not going all the way around, the pattern only going halfway around the bead. There will be a slightly raised peak where the fire polishing didn't entirely remove the seam. These pressed glass beads are sometimes called Prosser beads. The big pink one might be Peking glass, another great source for high-quality beads. The marble-style bead was probably made in Venice, a major site for specialized, lampwork glass.
I'd love to go digging in that bottle dump myself, one day. Some beautiful finds. Dumps like that are hard to come by in the U.S.A (I'm in California), and the city authorities don't like people digging around in the old dumps due to safety concerns. Most have been ploughed under, or paved over with buildings and roads. :-)
Thanks so much for the information - very interesting and useful! xx
The small blue and white half plate is a Phoenix bird
Great Vlog!☮️🇨🇦
What amazing finds and what an important question/message in your type set! I think this is my favorite of your videos that I've seen so far. ❤️
I've been working on my family ancestry -- Our McLendon / McLennan line (as far as I've gotten) is in the 1500's!!!! We're related to the bottle!
I have a whole dish with the exact same tree on it from Japan. I wish I could add a picture. I love it so much. I use it to hold rings and earrings. Its beautiful!
I’m sure someone has already said, but that’s a salt glazed stoneware bottle from the Bourne pottery at Denby.
41:37 So i actually have an answer in regards to what causes those weird formations on the outside of the bottle. Basically what happens is certain areas of the molten glass when it's being moulded are slightly cooler (or they cool just a little faster) than other areas around it. So when it starts to cool down those areas that were cooling down earlier are "shifted" around, these can make the "bubbles" and folds you have on that bottle. I'm just starting to collect glass insulators in my area (Boston, Massachusetts) and i have an early two tone Brookfield that not only has what your bottle has, but the lines and folds are very deep and defined as well! I was also surprised to find it has "Snow" on the inside of the glass as well as bubbles. The snow is just dust and debris that fall in during the moulding. I included a picture for you both to look at. And before I finish my long winded comment (🤣) i just want to say I absolutely love your videos as well as both of your personalities and voices! (Hope that's not weird at all)

Best episode ever! So informative and entertaining. Could that broken clay bottle have been cut that way? Since you found the remains of another one, they look like they were cut intentionally to be used as something else once the bottle was empty. Maybe a scoop for flour or something.........or a plate or bowl? God Bless and thanks.
What magical finds!! Love them all!! Well done xx
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At 2:00 this broken bottles could be a lovely candle holder 😍
What an amazing video! Thank you both so very much for all the effort and time you put in to your videos and your other creations. I especially LOVE it when you share the history of the items you have researched. I appreciate the time it takes to do such research as well.
What a phenomenal ending to a great video!
