Antique Glass & Stoneware Bottle Collection
This lot comprises a collection of antique glass and salt-glazed stoneware bottles, representing a fascinating glimpse into historical beverage packaging. Notable within the collection are bottles bearing the marks of ‘R Whites’ and ‘C Jones’, both well-known producers of ginger beer and other soft drinks during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The variety in shape, size, and material suggests a range of production periods and regional variations, offering a compelling study for bottle collectors and enthusiasts of social history.
Condition & Collectibility
The bottles exhibit signs consistent with age and use, including minor chips, surface wear, and variations in glaze. These imperfections are typical of antique items and contribute to their character and authenticity. The presence of maker’s marks adds to their desirability, as these bottles are sought after by collectors interested in documenting the history of British beverage production. This collection would be a valuable addition to any display of antique glass or stoneware, or a fascinating subject for further research.
