More than 42 years ago in this historic city, an archaeologist found a piece of a rare wine bottle seal left behind by early British colonists. Zierden said that what Herold had uncovered was just a fragment of an 18th-century wine bottle seal, but it stuck out as an unusual artifact since the collection did not have anything else like it. “I don’t know of any other case of an artifact discovery like that.”The Charleston Museum has wine bottle seals from the 18th century on display. Wealthy British colonists had the personalized seals made and affixed to wine bottles in the 18th century. All wine bottles during the era were all hand-blown.
