Greenish bottle with label

[jmefoster]

I found this old bottle at a second hand store a year or so ago. It is a bluish green with a few large air bubbles. The label, to the best of my deciphering skills, says
”Mixed Pickles from
H. G(C)orden &Company
By ????? Warrant
Purveyors to his majesty the King
(N?)ewton Leeds
London, England.”
The bottom appears to have three letters a W H T or W K T, not very clear.
It is 6.5” tall and 3.5” across the bottom. The neck opening is 2”.
Since there were only kings before 1837, I think the 1800’s are definitely out.
Which leaves 1901-1952, when there were kings instead of queens?
Just making sure I can keep using it as a vase without worrying about ruining any value.

Nice looking jar!
It was made in automatic bottle machine around 1910 or after.
I post a similar late19th century jar.
I have another one that dates 1915 circa.
Hsve no idea about prices. Al

Thanks! I appreciate the narrowed down timeframe. My grandma and grandpa both worked at a Pepsi bottling plant and I enjoyed digging and finding treasures in old dump ditches as a child/teen. I just love interesting pieces of the past that have survived all these years. Jamie

It's a nice jar! I'd guess that it dates to the 1920s or 30s, not sure if there were many British glassmakers using automatic bottle machines before 1920 or so. Not particularly valuable so you're fine using it as a vase, the valuable stuff from the UK usually dates to the 19th century or earlier.

Jamie are you sure it is a w embossed on base? It appears a M to me. Al

 

[jmefoster]

It could definitely be a m. rather than a w.

Vase for dried flowers should be OK? If your aim is good, maybe fresh flowers.

I guess you began to research about your family tree.Al
