Brighton Bottles

Three gems from the brighton dump;

Vincent, E.Vincent and F.Vincent

White Lion, North Street, Brighton

This pub was in fact at the very top corner of

North st. and West Str.

Perhaps the rarest and most interesting of

the Brighton impressed bottles are those with the phrase;

'Master Wants Me Home'

The three known companies are;

G.Holford, Sawyer & Hill and Wison & Co.

the following photos are of the 3 bottles shown on

 Page.71 of Derek Askey's book 'Stoneware Bottles'

1858 to 1881

Recently a few variation as been unearthed;

here an earlier G.Holford, weakly impressed but differently lettered.

The 1st,3rd and 4th lines are lower case except the 1st letter of each word.

( no pottery stamp)

brown salt glaze with commas,full stops,upper and lower case;

****Probably the most unusual bottle of all time!!!!
