History of makers of Ti Toki Style bottles
Orzel 1979 – 1984
Crown Lynn 1984 – 1985
Stewart Pottery made them for a few years in the late 1980’s
They were difficult to ensure that the liquor did not seep through, so the early bottles we sealed with food quality hot wax. Hemara made the molds for us. and they were brown or green glaze.
