This bottle was found in Portobello, Edinburgh.
It is approx. 7 inches tall and 2.5 inches in diameter at the base.
The colour is 2-tone and is a light creme colour in the lower half and a glazed tan colour at the top section.
The inscription reads...... "BLANCHE & CHRISTISON, wine merchants, 77 slateford road, EDINBURGH"
At the above address now, is a wine merchants, (victoria wine) but the shop workers have no knowledge of any history of the shop.
There is also a small, what looks like a manufacturers "stamp" at the bottom (not underneath). Unfortunately, this isn't too clear except for the words "portobello & edinburgh". There is also a small "crown" above the words.
Being a newbie to this forum, I posted it here because I couldn't find a mould seem at all. (pre 1900's ?)
I hope somebody can shed some light on this.Thank You.
