These were working bottles. From the early to mid twentieth century, soda factories across Argentina filled them with carbonated water and delivered them door to door. Many still have the factory’s name, town or an old phone number etched into the glass. The heavy glass and metal heads were made to hold pressure. Every bottle has been cleaned and restored by hand at a family workshop in Buenos Aires that has been doing this for about 50 years.

You choose the colors. Every color we have is available in both sizes: amber, blue, blush, brown, clear, green, grey, lime yellow, red, violet and more. Send us the palette you have in mind through Chairish messages. It can be one color, a gradient or a mix. We’ll put the group together and send you photos of the actual bottles before they ship.

The tall Signature bottles and the smaller Petites work well together on a back bar, open shelving or a long console. We’ve built installations from 18 bottles up to about 380, at The Distillery in the Hilton London Bankside.

These are vintage objects, so no two are the same. Expect variation in glass color, small bubbles, faded lettering, surface wear and different metal finishes. That’s part of their history.

Dimensions: Signature 12 inches in tall; Petite approx. 10.6 inches in tall. Approx. total weight 4.5 lb.

Shipping is charged separately. The bottles ship via DHL, packed in three baskets of six, and usually arrive 3-4 weeks after the colors are confirmed. US import duties are covered by us.

If you’re sourcing for a particular space, send us a photo or the measurements and we’ll help with the layout or color mix. Larger quantities are available. See less
