• Dating: This authentic pair of bottles maps to the transition years surrounding the turn of the 20th century (c. 1900). The thick-walled glass composition, vertical two-part iron mold seams running down the side panels, and the specialized internal screw-cap mouths are diagnostic signatures of late-Victorian and Edwardian English automated and semi-automated production lines.

• Historical Note: Hailing from Burton-on-Trent—the historic capital of British ale production—these vessels represent the iconic Marston's Brewery during its foundational growth era. Burton’s unique, mineral-rich underground water supply allowed late 19th-century brewers to perfect pale ales and export them worldwide. These specific utility bottles were the backbone of regional British pubs, engineered to withstand multiple refills and rugged travel across the midlands rail networks.

A fantastic instant duo collection of industrial social history, this job lot features two distinct sized antique bottles showcasing the robust, functional design of historic British brewery utility ware. Each vessel terminates in a stout, reinforced collar, balanced by thick cylindrical bases designed to withstand daily tavern handling.

• Sized Pairing: Combines a compact 7.5-inch beverage split bottle with a full-sized 9.5-inch tavern pint bottle, beautifully illustrating the scale options used by Edwardian publicans.

• Crisp Regional Lettering: Prominently embossed with high-relief typography reading: "MARSTON'S / BURTON ON TRENT", preserving historic commercial branding flawlessly.

• Authentic Glass Character: Loaded with late-Victorian glassmaking charm, including beautiful internal seed bubbles, wavy straw marks, and cooling lines that emphasize their antique origins.

This pair is in honest, fair to good antique condition. As authentic dug or salvaged utility pieces, they display a beautiful, genuine character with surface scuffs, tiny manufacturing bubbles, and localized internal mineral soil staining—particularly concentrated inside the base of the larger bottle as clearly shown in the close-up images. The embossed typography panels remain proudly raised, sharp, and highly legible across both pieces. The rims and internal screw threads are structurally sound, free from modern impact fractures or major sharp body cracks.
