This curated set features a rich variety of sculptural forms and historical textures, ranging from 10 cm to 15 cm in height.
The collection is anchored by a rare Owbridge’s Embrocation (Hull) poison bottle and an embossed Allenburys Castor Oilbottle. It also includes several classic hexagonal poison bottles featuring deep vertical ribbing—a Victorian safety feature designed to warn the user by touch in low-light conditions.
A highlight of the set is the petite octagonal inkwell featuring a "burst-off" or "sheared" lip. This raw, jagged edge is a definitive characteristic of 19th-century hand-blown glass, serving as a hallmark of its age and authentic manufacturing process.

Dimensions:
Set includes 7 bottles ranging in height from approximately 4 inches to 6 inches tall.

Styling Tip:
These pieces create a stunning visual impact when grouped in a sunlit window or atop a stack of vintage books. The deep cobalt hue pairs beautifully with earthy stoneware or brass accents. See less
