Vintage Bass “In Bottle” Pub Mirror Advertising Sign

Vintage Bass “In Bottle” Pub Mirror Advertising Sign original not reproduction!!!

.

A striking piece of British pub advertising history, this vintage Bass brewery mirror sign captures the instantly recognisable branding of one of the world’s most famous beers. Featuring the bold “Bass” script logo, the iconic red triangle trademark, and the wording “IN BOTTLE,” this piece would originally have been displayed behind the bar in a pub or bar to promote bottled Bass ale.

.

The mirror is set within a gold-tone glass border, giving it the classic look associated with mid-20th-century pub mirrors. The reverse shows evidence of age and wear, consistent with a piece that has spent many years in a hospitality setting. The surface retains the wonderfully distressed patina collectors love in vintage advertising, adding authentic character and a sense of history.

.

This piece would make a fantastic addition to a home bar, pub room, man cave, or vintage advertising collection. ( See pictures illustration only)

Some age related wear only adds to look and age ( may have originally been framed or in a door etc ?)

Maker History – Bass Brewery

The Bass Brewery was founded in 1777 by William Bass in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, a town famous for its ideal brewing water. Bass became one of the largest and most successful breweries in the world during the 19th century.

.

The brand is historically significant because its red triangle logo became the first registered trademark in the United Kingdom in 1876 under the Trade Marks Registration Act. Bass beer was exported across the globe and famously appeared in artworks by Édouard Manet and Pablo Picasso, demonstrating how widely recognised the brand had become.

.

Vintage Bass advertising items—particularly mirrors, enamel signs, and bar displays—are highly collectable, reflecting the golden age of British brewing and pub culture.
