Description
Set of Antique Etched Glass Barber or Condiment Bottles
Pair of very old, very well-cared for jewel stoppered glass star bottles. Probably from the late 19th century to early 20th century. Made of thick colorless cut glass.
They could be “Barber Bottles” (used for barber’s niceties) or cologne bottles. Could be used for bitter’s and such at the bar. The stoppers appear to be original. Neck and stopper are ground to fit, and provide a tight closure. The grinding was done by hand, not machined. Maker unknown.
Tiffin and Duncan Glass companies did star patterns in the early 20th century. Made from a two part mold. Old fashioned cooling process left strawmarks and tiny air bubbles. In very good condition with only a small sliver chip on the base of one bottle. Impossible to see unless turned upside down. It’s so thin, it’s hard to see when you’re looking straight at it. No liquid staining.
Decor is hand-cut with North Stars. Bottles are square shaped. 6″ tall with stopper, 4.5″ tall without stopper. Each of 4 sides measures 1.5″ wide. Each weigh 1/5 lb. Other bottles shown in image 4 are available separately.
