Antique Baker's Indian Root Beer Extract Bottle – Stillroom Bottles Collection – Bottle No. 1

Antique Baker's Indian Root Beer Extract Bottle – Stillroom Bottles Collection – Bottle No. 1

Discovered during a winding treasure hunt through a dusty, timeworn antiques shop in Berlin, New Hampshire, this square Victorian bottle carries the rich herbal tradition of the American stillroom.

Embossed on one panel with "Baker’s Indian Root Beer Extract" and on the reverse with "Baker Extract Company, Springfield, Mass," this bottle once held a blend of botanical infusions — a staple for home apothecaries and kitchens alike.

Crafted from thick, heavy glass with a four-sided square design, it features an applied lip, carefully hand-formed for a cork closure. A faint cloudiness near the neck whispers of its long history, but otherwise, the glass remains remarkably clear, full of presence, charm, and simple, enduring beauty.

Ideal for storing your own herbal infusions, dried herbs, or standing proudly among a collection of vintage treasures.
