My dad has had these in his shed for years.
We have looked on the internet and found a few things on Blackwood and cos and a few images of other things they made but we cannot find any photo of this particular jug/ siphon bottle, which seems strange.
The small bottle is 5 cm tall, the bigger one is about 12 cm tall.
When held up to the light the glass on both bottles is a beautiful dark pink.
We would love to find out how old they are and also do they belong together as a set?
I hope someone will know something.
Sorry I spent a while trying to get the photos the correct way around, two worked and two didn't
Thank you for looking.
Tiny one is a Wheaton reproduction circa 1970. Big one looks like ink?
The larger is a Blackwoods master ink from approx 1870-1890. It is in nice complete condition. A collector friend of mine that collects specifically Blackwoods would love to have this specimen in his collection.
The other is s Wheaton remake from about 1970. Roughly 100 years newer and generally of little value.
Hope this helps.
