How resistant are they in typical english weather, midlands?

Is it likely to crack this winter as my poor girl is outside? What preventative measures can i take, any 'older' known methods? ;)

Thanks!

Thom

At the end of the day they are glass so would need some antifreeze/screen wash liquid in there to stop it freezing and cracking thats what happened to them. Or Take it inside wrap it in bubble wrap, in a box, more bubble wrap, in another box then write fragile on it then put it in the roof for next 25 years then sell it ;-) Just put it away safe for now as not worth the frost risk then get it out nexy spring!

Haha, thank you both. It seemed the obvious idea, and i know what sort of money they fetch!

I'll put it away safely and dig out an old plastic bottle. for now... 8-)

Recycle a class water bottle for the looks, who cares if it cracks. Lots of fancy waters about that come in different shaped bottles these days.
