I'm not sure of the origin, but I have an idea on who the mask might be. It has a resemblance to the Buddhist deity Guan Yu. It's just a guess so don't take my word on it, it doesn't look of Chinese origin though.

Yep, no house, the land was just a patch of woods on a dirt road. Makes you think though, who had these way out in the middle of nowhere?

Hello, first time poster, long time collector. I recently bought some land up in New Hampshire, and while digging the foundation of the house I found two of these bottles, I'm guessing they are from the civil war era, there is what looks like a stamp on one that is nearly unreadable. Any info on these would be appreciated, also what they are actually called   Thank you.
