Step back into the late Victorian brewing era with this authentic antique stoneware ginger beer bottle, embossed:
“T. Gildred & Co. / Hope Street Brewery / Swinton.”
Crafted in the classic two-tone style with a warm caramel glaze over a buff stoneware body, this piece reflects the sturdy, utilitarian design used to safely store carbonated drinks like ginger beer and mineral water before glass bottling was common. The rounded “blob-top” neck would have originally been sealed with a cork and wire, ensuring freshness and fizz.
Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (c. 1880–1910), this bottle is a fine example of regional brewing history from Swinton, England. The embossed brewery name and location add both charm and provenance, making it a desirable piece for collectors of antique stoneware, brewery memorabilia, or those who love decorating with storied utilitarian wares.
A wonderful display piece for shelves, bar carts, or rustic kitchen vignettes — bringing with it the spirit of a bygone brewing tradition.
