This lot comprises three antique and vintage glass storage vessels of North East England origin, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The primary item is a glass soda syphon featuring an acid-etched design to the body for Bradford Bros, Mineral Waters, Newcastle-on-Tyne. The etching includes a ribbon banner, a circular trade mark depicting a stag head, and the text N. TEL. 405. The syphon retains a partially damaged paper label on the shoulder for Johnson and Co. Lemonade, Walker, with references to filtered water and guaranteed purity. It is fitted with a patinated lead-alloy or pewter head and an internal glass dip tube. The second item is a large apothecary or chemist storage bottle of pale aqua-tinted glass with rounded shoulders. It is fitted with a cork stopper featuring a wooden top with a paper label for Iron Pills (Blaud). The third item is a cylindrical storage jar in light green glass with a wide, ground-glass interior rim, designed for a glass stopper which is currently absent.
