History
Mrs. Butterworth's syrup was introduced in 1961 by Lever Brothers Company (later Unilever) and became an iconic American brand. The distinctive amber glass bottle was designed to resemble a matronly figure in an apron, creating instant brand recognition. The glass bottles were produced from the 1960s through the 1990s, when production transitioned to plastic. These vintage glass bottles appeal to collectors of advertising memorabilia, kitchenware enthusiasts, and those interested in mid-century American consumer culture. The 12-ounce size represents one of the standard retail sizes and is valued by collectors of vintage food packaging, syrup bottles, and Americana for their nostalgic connection to American breakfast traditions and their representation of mid-20th century advertising design.
