SWANSEA BOTTLES

Introduction

If you know of or have any other bottles not on this list I would be grateful if you would contact me, so I can update this list. Just use the link at the bottom of the page to contact me.

To see examples of the bottles from the firms below I have in my collection just click on the company name.

I have only listed the most basic of differences in each companies bottles. More keen collectors may add identical bottles from the same company produced by a different Pottery or with a variation to the basic colour of the bottle, but at this stage I believe it is easier to list distinct variations to transfer design or colour co-ordinations.

At the bottom of this page you will find examples of bottles from;

Brighton

Llanelly

Norwich
