Antique bitters bottles are those bottles which specifically are embossed with the word “bitters” or a bottle with a label whose product name contains the word bitters. The heyday of bitters trade in the US was the period 1860 to 1906. Most bitters products were simply an infusion of herbs in alcohol which offered a legitimate option to consume alcohol in times when drinking was socially unacceptable or illegal. The bitters business gained strength from several periods of temperance in America during the latter 19th century and in some ways was a refinement of the patent medicine trade. Bitters products were often more expensive and came in novel packaging, which, 100 or more years later, makes for great collecting. Bitters bottles are found in a colorful array of shapes and sizes, many with exotic names and over-the-top marketing claims.
