Strange Bottle - 3/25/2008 9:13:26 PM    wyldorchid58   Posts: 10 Joined: 9/19/2007 Status: offline Hi All, Posted this one before, but got nowhere, so I was hoping somebody can help with it this time. My dad got it back in the 70's as a lamp. (we're from Baltimore, Md.) Have searched for months, but can't find anything on it. It may be stoneware, it has no seams, and no markings, except for the "N" embossed on the front, as well as the war depiction. I think it was painted, but don't know if it was original paint or done later.I don't know much about pontils and such, so I can't give too much more info. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Otherwise I've never seen a bottle like it. Unusual size, shape and painting! Sorry not to be more helpful. (in reply to wyldorchid58) Post #: 5
