Antique stoneware bottle with attractive two-tone glaze, featuring a brown glazed upper section over a cream-colored stoneware body. The base is impressed “GRAY / 6 / PORTOBELLO” (see photos).
Measures approximately 7.75 inches tall and weighs approximately 15.2 ounces. The bottle has a classic late 19th to early 20th century form commonly associated with ginger beer, mineral water, ink, or other utilitarian stoneware containers.
Research suggests a connection to the historic pottery industry of Portobello, Scotland, though buyers should make their own determination regarding exact attribution and date.
Condition is good antique condition with age-related wear, glaze imperfections, manufacturing irregularities, and surface marks consistent with use and age. No major cracks or repairs observed. Please review all photos carefully as they form part of the description.
A wonderful addition to a collection of antique stoneware, ginger beer bottles, ink bottles, Scottish pottery, or advertising and breweriana collectibles.
