Description from the seller
NO RESERVE
Antique French uranium glass soda siphon bottle, embossed “La Favorite,” complete with its original metal siphon head and internal tube assembly.
A highly collectible early 20th-century French café siphon made from UV-reactive uranium glass, producing an intense neon green fluorescence under blacklight. The bottle retains its original embossed advertising decoration and original metal top marked “Breveté S.G.D.G. Paris,” confirming authentic French manufacture.
These siphon bottles were used in cafés, bistros, and restaurants for serving carbonated water and are now sought-after by collectors of uranium glass, advertising memorabilia, barware, and antique bottles.
This example stands out for its:
* strong uranium glow
* embossed “La Favorite” branding
* original siphon mechanism
* intact internal tube
* attractive aqua-green coloration
* excellent decorative presence
Period:
Circa 1900–1930
Origin:

Material:
Uranium glass, metal
