Heinz French Dressing Bottle, circa 1925

01

Artifact Overview

In the late 19th century, when many foods were still sold in bulk, H.J. Heinz developed a strong name-brand image and individual packages for his products. Heinz's clear glass bottles allowed customers to see the quality of the product. The crackled appearance of this bottle would have made this Heinz product stand out among others on a grocer's shelf.
