Will need more info. If it's British then Asford & Loydd doesn't make sense - wrong spelling, maybe.

Is it glass or stoneware? Also shape, color, if it's ceramic is the writing impressed into the clay, or transfer printed? Is there a trade mark?

An in-focus photo or two would be good.

I'm finding E (Edwin) Finn & Co, also Sons. I think it's Lydd, Kent. I'm not finding an Asford or Ashford for them.

Nice looking bottle, pretty typical of 1890 - 1915 period British stoneware ginger beer bottles.

If it's a local rarity in Kent (the county where Ashford and Lydd are located) it may have a value of $50 or more. If it's common the value will be more like $20 or less. Kent is the other end of the country from where I am, so I can't help any further on that right now, but I'll ask around.
