Antieke reliefgeperste bierflessen afkomstig van historische Belgische en Duitse brouwerijen - Bottle (10) - Glass

These are antique, relief-pressed beer bottles (mostly from the late 19th century and the early 20th century) that largely originate from historic Belgian and German breweries.
Such bottles are popular collectibles due to their characteristic shapes and the text embossed in the glass (relief), which often states the name of the brewery, the city and the year.

Condition: the bottles were all found during archaeological excavations in the Netherlands and Belgium. The bottles have only been rinsed with water and can certainly be cleaned further, both inside and outside. The bottles are in very good condition but show signs of use as seen in the photos.

Size: varying between 21.5 and 31.0 cm
