A collection of 21 glass bottles of various forms and manufacturing techniques, representing a range of late 19th and early 20th-century production. The group includes mold-blown examples with hand-finished lips and later machine-made bottles. The glass colours include aqua, clear, amber, emerald green, olive green, and cobalt blue. The assortment features various shapes such as cylindrical beer and ale bottles, tapered chemical or spirit bottles, soda bottles, and small medicinal vials. One clear bottle is embossed with the word NEWCASTLE below a graphic depicting a castle with three towers, suggesting a provenance from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. Other bottles exhibit partial embossed markings including the characters S and PLE. The bases are predominantly smooth and recessed, though some of the dark-coloured thick-walled bottles may possess sand pontil marks.
