I have recently acquired an empty old bottle that bears the legend " RHC 1815 "

From
here :
Richard Hall Clark(e) 1759-1821 was JP of Dridwell, Uffculme in Devon. Bottle was to commerate his return from the battle of Waterloo.
No word as to what the bottle contained.
By chance, Richard Clark is also an Executive partner of Slaughter and May
