A traditional witch preserve is a reserved carafe, about 3 inches high, created from little or green mug. Well-built and rounder witch bottles, up to 9 inches high, were recognizable as Greybeards and employed ostensible Bartmann or Bellarmine jugs. Bellarmines were named following a tremendously unpleasant Catholic Inquisitor, Robert Bellarmine, who put out Protestants, was instrumental in the peppery of Giordano Bruno and, in price, was labeled as a demon by his wounded. Greybeards and Bellarmines were not ended of mug, but of flatter or unclear stoneware that was glazed with briny and embossed with piercing bearded faces meant to terrorize off evil.
