Antique 2 Gallon Stoneware Chemist Bottle – “Teal & Mackrill Ltd., Hull”

A beautifully preserved antique stoneware chemist bottle, boldly stamped “Teal & Mackrill Ltd., Lockwood St., Hull”, this substantial 2-gallon vessel is a striking example of English apothecary history.
Featuring a classic two-tone glaze—rich honey-brown over a soft cream base—this piece embodies the timeless simplicity and durability of late 19th to early 20th century stoneware. The crisp black lettering and curved form give it a strong visual presence, making it equally suited for collectors and elevated interior styling.
Its generous 2-gallon size adds weight and scale, allowing it to anchor a shelf, console, or vignette with ease.
