Fidelio Brewery operated in New York during the early twentieth century, one of many small regional breweries supplying local saloons and taverns before Prohibition reshaped the industry. This aqua glass bottle carried the brewery's product and now surfaces as a rare piece of that vanished trade.
The front carries a raised circular slug plate embossed with FIDELIO BREWERY NEW YORK, the mark breweries used to claim ownership on returnable glass. The soft aqua tone and slightly uneven surface reflect the early machine-blown production typical of this period.
Condition is good, with light surface hazing across portions of the glass and a scattering of minor scratches consistent with age and handling. No chips or cracks. The wear reads as authentic age-appropriate patina.
Dimensions: 9.5" H × 2.5" W | Aqua glass | Good condition | Circular embossed slug plate on front
This bottle works well as a single-stem bud vase on an apothecary shelf or kitchen windowsill, and its aqua tone suits Farmhouse and Cottagecore display styles. It also stands on its own as a collector's piece for anyone interested in pre-Prohibition NYC breweriana.
Recovered from New York City's historic shorelines and landfill sites by Brooklyn Sea Glass. Ships carefully packed.
