This vintage "Seal Mineral Water co" thick glass bottle with a marble inside is in good condition with minor chips on the rim at the top. The bottle stands 19cm high.
These bottles were regularly produced for many decades, but gradually declined in usage. Since children smashed the bottles to retrieve the marbles, vintage bottles are relatively scarce and have become collectors items.
The bottle was designed and manufactured with thick glass to withstand internal pressure, and a chamber to enclose a marble and a rubberwasher in the neck. The bottles are filled upside down, and pressure of the gas in the bottle forced the marble against the washer, sealing in the carbonation. The bottle is pinched into a special shape to provide a chamber into which the marble is pushed to open the bottle. This prevents the marble from blocking the neck as the drink is poured.
