Scuba diver warning buoy - stay safe when diving for bottles


Graf & Madlener Milwaukee Wis.

This stoneware bottle has a simple cobalt flower on the shoulder as a case marker.  It dates from the 1880's and is debossed "GRAF & MADLENER MILWAUKEE WIS."  It was also made without the flower.  The decorated variety is quite rare and very few American clay bottles were decorated with anything other than a stripe or band.
