Luke,

Bob Steven's had a nice write up about amber in his book.  He mentioned that amber bottles (and glass) can be subject to cracking around the neck, especially with changes in humidity, so, it's best to have loose stoppers on these varieties.  It can be of concern where I live but not sure it applies to your climate in England. 

George, I'm assuming the crizzling happens over time, as the material brittles? In any case, I really like it.

Joey,  Thanks for putting it in a date range, my brother will be thrilled.

Cheers,

Rube.
