what is this, please - 5/3/2004 12:33:39 PM    animal   Posts: 3 Joined: 4/30/2004 Status: offline I'm new to this, so please bear with me. My wife and I own a cleaning company here in Tucson, Az. and one of our teams broke this bottle in one of our houses. None of the antique dealers here in town have seen this bottle, let alone have one for me to buy to replace it. They say, "oh, what a neat bottle". HELP!!!!!!!!. I have included a few pictures for help in identifying the bottle. All I know of it is thats its hex shaped, 2 areas for what looks to be labels applied, nice diamond quilt pattern, mold lines go through the neck though it doesnt show real well, and a #3 on the bottom of the bottle, only mark I have seen even with a magnifying glass. I need one of these to replace the one we broke. If any members in this forum know of one exactly like this for sale, I need it. Contact me via email and i will work out payment and shipping. Of course, I tried ebay and no luck there. Thank you all in advance for the help, I'm outta luck here in this town Attachment (1) < Message edited by animal -- 5/3/2004 1:29:46 PM > Post #: 1

This looks like one of the great variety of decorative bottles being made in China. They come in a variety of colors and shapes. _____________________________ ______________________________________________ Visit The Demijohn Page at: http://members.aol.com/pristis/index.html (in reply to animal) Post #: 3

Am thinking it could have held some sort of liquer or wine. Good luck, let us know if you find out what it is. (in reply to animal) Post #: 6

Won't the owner just accept an apology and some cleaning service? If you are bound and determined to find a replacement, search eBay and check the local flea-market. Good luck! _____________________________ ______________________________________________ Visit The Demijohn Page at: http://members.aol.com/pristis/index.html (in reply to animal) Post #: 7
