    My dad has had these in his shed for years.

    We have looked on the internet and found a few things on Blackwood and cos and a few images of other things they made but we cannot find any photo of this particular jug/ siphon bottle, which seems strange.

    The small bottle is 5 cm tall, the bigger one is about 12 cm tall.

    When held up to the light the glass on both bottles is a beautiful dark pink.

    We would love to find out how old they are and also do they belong together as a set?

    I hope someone will know something.

    Sorry I spent a while trying to get the photos the correct way around, two worked and two didn't

    Thank you for looking.

      Tiny one is a Wheaton reproduction circa 1970. Big one looks like ink?

      The larger is a Blackwoods master ink from approx 1870-1890. It is in nice complete condition. A collector friend of mine that collects specifically Blackwoods would love to have this specimen in his collection.
      The other is s Wheaton remake from about 1970. Roughly 100 years newer and generally of little value.
      Hope this helps.
