Mystery Bottle
« on: July 28, 2013, 09:04:40 am »
I was out a couple garage sales yesterday and I found some cool liquor "nip" bottles for 25 cents each. The other two I got are just basic bottles, from modern makers, that I found cool.

But then I found this older clay bottle. I tried looking it up, but the on thing I could make of it, was that it had Brandy in it and from what I can make out.. It is either French or german. Here is a picture of it, so maybe you all could make a little more sense of it and maybe a value. Has its original cork as well

Thanks, Daniel.

It's French.  Doesn't look real old.

Not unusual in that area of the world for different liquoristeries to bottle in different "materials" for novel.
