Description: RARE, antique, made in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, blue swirl seltzer bottle, excellent used condition! No cracks or chips! This beauty measures 12" in height and 4" in diameter, with a metal spigot that measures 4" in width and 3" in height. The "swirls" or "ruffles" in the gorgeous hued glass are hard to capture with a camera. There is engraving on the spigot, but I can only read part of it. It says, "J. Ott" - which I couldn't find any information on. The city it originated in is Amsterdam. Another word I couldn't find any information on is "LOODVRY." This amazing bottle weighs almost 4 pounds! Antique seltzer bottles are collectable, enjoyable, beautiful, and work well with any decor. They are also known as soda siphon bottles, as they would dispense carbonated liquid, typically water. Sometimes the bottles came pre-filled with water, but with the addition of a carbonation cartridge, the bottle could be refilled to carbonate more water. These bottles and this method of carbonating water became common in homes, bars and soda fountains starting in the late 1800's. Although seltzer and its carbonation effects were extremely popular in Europe in the 1700's, the siphon was invented by Deleuze and Dutillet in 1829. The hollow corkscrew design was meant to help users release only the amount of carbonated water they needed, leaving the rest of the water under high enough pressure so it wouldn't go flat. Some bottling companies, like Coca Cola, made flavored syrups, which were sold at soda fountains. The server would use a seltzer bottle to add carbonated water to the flavored syrup for a yummy, fizzy treat! Seltzer bottles come in many shapes and sizes and are very durable, built to withstand the pressure from carbonation. They are exciting to collect and display because of their sensational colors. Display them in a window so the sunlight comes through them - magical! They are a great conversation starter in your bar. You can also fill them with sea glass, white pebbles or solar powered string lights. Antique seltzer bottles in your home can add FIZZ to a dull space!
