Many archaeologists including myself have been fooled by the exquisite stoneware known as Selters bottles. It looks like high-end Medieval ware. It's actually historicising packaging for 19th century mineral water from the town of Selters in Hesse.

This town also the origin of an old American term for carbonated water, seltzer water.
