Returnable 30 fl oz Syphon

Bottle-EY-Syphon

Syphon bottles at the time were generally imported from Bohemia (now known as the Czech Republic and Slovakia) because of the quality of the glass from the area at that time. The syphon head was made from pewter. Refilling could be a dangerous task as the bottles, if damaged, could explode. The sandblasted label shows that this bottle was used by R.F. Barr’s business in Glasgow
