Height: 28cm

A vintage Fyrside heater comprising a clear glass bottle with printed red Fyrside branding, housed within its original wire carry frame and fitted with a cork stopper and wick assembly.

Designed as a portable heat source, this form of bottle heater was intended for use with spirit fuel, providing warmth for domestic, workshop, or outdoor settings.

The cylindrical glass body allowed the fuel level to be easily monitored, while the wire frame offered protection and a practical means of handling and suspension.

Fyrside heaters are representative of early to mid-20th-century domestic utility design, combining simple industrial materials with bold graphic branding.

The typography and diamond-shaped logo reflect the period’s emphasis on clear product identification and functional aesthetics.

Such heaters were commonly used in sheds, garages, camping contexts, or as supplementary heat sources before widespread electric alternatives.

Today, examples are collected as utilitarian antiques, valued for their graphic presence, industrial character, and insight into everyday heating solutions of the period.

This piece sits comfortably within collections of vintage domestic equipment, industrial objects, or social history artefacts.
