What's new

🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Yes, I am not sure if these are authentic late 1800 ceramic SC Dispensary bottles or painted over glass or modern replicas.

No side seam but the bottoms have info. See pics
The short one with brownish marks feels heavier than the other 2.

True but a a rare few from mid 1800s were made from pottery. I just noticed the ILY marking and it us on all 3

ILY could be a recent vendor mark if they were at an antique store or market. Is ILY ink or pencil or etched?

If you have a top SC Dispensary that you would like to brag about here, then please submit JPG picture and description to rlynch@antiquebottles.com.

Probably a good investment of time to email this one and ask them. By looking at many links it could be a repo from the 1970s and it has all the markings of the real deal but the colour is off.

When replying to ask make sure the photos and measurements are included.

Shine a light inside one and see if it the same color as the outside. The wear on the bottom lip does not look like glass to me.
