Mini Story:
A classic duo from Australia’s post-war soda fountain era, these two Schweppes siphons showcase the evolution of mid-century design — from the smooth cream lever of the early 1950s to the bold black update of the 1960s. Once part of Schweppes’ home and hospitality refill service, these heavy ribbed-glass bottles are now prized for their sculptural form and nostalgic charm. Perfect for display in a home bar, vintage kitchen, café, or retro lounge.
