History: This item is a tall ceramic apothecary or bath salts bottle with a matching ceramic and cork stopper. The body features a detailed transfer-printed or hand-applied fern pattern in green, yellow, and brown hues. The bottle displays pronounced crazing (surface crackling), common in mid-20th-century English pottery. The stopper features a matching botanical motif.
 
 
The underside is stamped in orange: “HAND MADE FOR Radox.” Radox is a well-known UK bath products brand, founded in 1908. During the 1970s and 1980s, it was common for Radox to commission pottery companies in Staffordshire, England, to produce branded bottles for their bath salts and related products. These bottles were often given as promotional items or sold as collectible bathroom decor. The actual potter is not listed, but this style matches those produced in the Staffordshire region during that era.
 
 
The style, finish, and branding place this piece between the late 1970s and 1980s. The use of cork stoppers, hand-applied transfer patterns, and the type of crazed glaze support this dating.
 
Flaws: Crazing visible throughout
