Furniture Cream Bottle

‘Stephenson Brothers, Bradford/ Furniture Cream’ embossed on shoulder of this clear-glass bottle. In 1908, when this bottle was discarded, glass was beginning to supersede stoneware, although the Stephenson Brothers still sold their famous product in the traditional cream-coloured stoneware bottles. 13 cm tall. There was also a larger bottle of the same design.

    I found one on my allotment. We have an auction at the end of our Horticultural Show. Mine is unchipped but there is some discolouration of the glass. “blooming”? Is it worth putting in the auction?
