Antique Victorian Aerated Water Bottle – A.J. Wintle & Sons (Bill Mills, near Ross)
Up for sale is a beautiful, authentic late-Victorian glass soda / mineral water bottle from A.J. Wintle & Sons.
This regional British bottle features crisp, clean embossed lettering on the front face that reads: A.J. WINTLE & SONS BILL MILLS Nr ROSS.
Key Features & Details:
- Era: Late 19th Century (Circa 1880s–1890s)
- Color: Rich, deep olive/emerald green glass that looks spectacular when displayed in natural light.
- Glass Characteristics: Features a heavy, applied "blob top" (or round collar) finish meant for a wire-bound cork. The glass itself contains charming, period-accurate "seed bubbles" trapped inside from the old-world manufacturing process.
- Base: Smooth base with a thick, heavy outer heel.
Condition Report:
The bottle is in excellent antique condition with no major cracks or heavy chips. The embossing remains incredibly sharp. As is typical with dug or recovered Victorian glass, there may be minor surface swirling, light storage wear, or tiny flea bites, but it presents beautifully. Please review the high-resolution photos carefully to judge the exact condition for yourself.
