Antique Josiah Russell Stonewear Soda Bottle in VGC for 100+ Years of Age.

Circa. 21cm tall & 7.5cm in diameter at the base.

Josiah Russell (Bexhill, 1844-Bexhill, 1911), was a manufacturer of sodas and mineral waters from London. Products of Josiah Russell were exported to Australia, South-Africa and several other countries.

By 1881 his products were also available on the Dutch market. Among these products were tonic and ginger ale, flavors hitherto almost unknown to Dutch consumers. In 1887 Josiah Russell opened a second factory in Rotterdam. Little is known about the life of the entrepreneur Josiah Russell.

His obituary and census data indicate that after his retirement Josiah Russell returned to his native town Bexhill, where he lived at his brother's house and died in 1911.
