FAQs

Bitters bottles became popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries as a refined way to dispense aromatic tinctures for cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned.

These vessels typically combine cut or moulded lead crystal glass with hallmarked sterling silver or silver-plated mounts and cork stoppers.

Authenticity is verified by examining the makers marks and town hallmarks stamped into the silver, as well as the hand-cut facets and age-related wear on the glass.

Such pieces function well as decorative elements on a home bar cart, side cabinet, or open shelving unit to add historic texture and metallic contrast.

Glass should be hand-washed with mild soapy water, while silver components require gentle cleaning with a specialised non-abrasive polish to preserve the metal.
