Antique George Washington Bottles

Antique George Washington bottles are highly sought after by bottle collectors in two distinct styles, figural and flask.

Figural George Washington Bottles

In 1875, Bernard Simon designed a figural bottle to represent an officer of the Continental Army. The military figure that was portrayed on Simon’s bottle closely resembled several of Gilbert Stuart’s famous portraits of George Washington. Because of this resemblance, when the bottle was introduced for sale in 1876, it was named The Bust of Washington Bottle.
