Pair of Early WA Pontil Beer Bottles – Hand-Blown, c.1850s–70s

Rare pair of hand-blown colonial beer or ale bottles from Western Australia, dating to the mid-19th century. Made from deep olive and black glass with open pontil scars at the base — a clear sign of early, pre-industrial bottle making. These bottles likely served beer or porter in early inns, pubs, or supply stores across Fremantle, Perth, or the goldfields.

In excellent condition for their age. An exceptional find for collectors of early WA bottles or Australiana.
