Near fine condition. "Although much has been written on old bottles in Britain and America, this is the first book to be written for South African collectors. Its extensive colour photographs help identify old bottles that are found in South Africa, while the illustrations of old articles and advertisements give a delightful insight into the place of our memorabilia in everyday Victorian life. Not only glass bottles, but other items found in the same locations, such as stoneware containers, beautifully decorated porcelain pot lids, china dolls, and pipes, are discussed in this comprehensive book. Many of the items discussed were manufactured in Britain, but the stories of these products reflect fascinating aspects of industrial and cultural development of South Africa."
