This collection comprises an assortment of vintage glass, ceramic, and industrial items. The glassware includes several one-gallon clear glass jugs with finger-loop handles, some of which feature embossed text stating ONE GALLON. Included are various milk bottles in different sizes and a group of small apothecary or medicine bottles in clear and green glass, alongside one dark amber glass bottle embossed with COFFEE EXTRACT. The stoneware selection features a James Keiller and Sons Dundee Marmalade jar with black transfer printing that includes text for the Grand Medal of Merit Vienna 1873 and the Prize Medal for Marmalade London 1862. Also present is a horizontal ceramic bed warmer with a screw-top lid, small salt-glazed ink bottles, a tapered stoneware bottle with a ceramic stopper, and a miniature character jug depicting a male face. The industrial component consists of a BOC (British Oxygen Company) oxygen regulator featuring a yellow adjustment dial, dual pressure gauges, and brass fittings. The lower portion of the collection includes multiple cardboard boxes containing brown glass beer bottles equipped with swing-top wire closures and ceramic caps printed with BIER – BIERE – BIRRA.
Condition report:
The items exhibit varying degrees of age-related wear. Much of the glassware and stoneware shows accumulated surface dust, grime, and minor staining consistent with long-term storage. The marmalade jar has visible discolouration to the ceramic body. The oxygen regulator displays surface oxidation and wear to the dial markings. The swing-top bottles show paint loss and wear to the ceramic caps, and the rubber seals appear perished. The cardboard storage boxes are worn with some tearing and structural softening.
