FAQs

Bitters bottles gained popularity in the 19th and early 20th centuries as cocktail culture expanded, often featuring decorative silver mounts and precision pourers to dispense aromatic ingredients.

These items typically combine heavy lead crystal or cut glass bodies with hallmarked sterling silver collars, mounts, and spouts.

Authenticity is determined by examining British silver hallmarks for the makers mark, town, and date letter, alongside hand-cut facets and wear consistent with age on the glass base.

Place the bottle on a mirrored bar tray or bar cart alongside crystal glassware to introduce reflective textures and historic character to a contemporary entertaining space.

Wash the glass gently in warm soapy water, avoiding harsh abrasives, and polish the silver components with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver cleaner to prevent tarnish build-up.
