About this lot

Condition: Has Some Scratches, No Major Visible Chips or Cracks

Additional Information: This pair of hand blown green glass gin bottles reflects the rich history of Dutch jenever production, featuring the classic square case bottle form designed for efficient packing and transport during the 18th and 19th centuries. Their deep olive-green color and subtle irregularities highlight their handcrafted origins, with the unstamped bottle retaining a visible pontil mark on the base, indicating earlier free-blown production, while the smaller embossed EJF Brands Schiedam bottle shows a smoother base typical of later manufacturing techniques. Schiedam in the Netherlands was a major center for gin distillation and export, and bottles like these were made for durability and efficient storage aboard ships and in trade. Together, they showcase an evolution in glassmaking methods while maintaining the sturdy, functional design that made them essential to the historic spirits trade, offering both visual appeal and strong collector interest.
