    Dark green 13" wine bottle with punt, bordeaux?

    Dark green 13" wine bottle with punt, bordeaux?

    Coffin & Hay or reproduction?

    Hello all, new to this forum here. This forum popped up in my hours of searching Google, looks like you have a great community here with great expertise. I found this bottle at a rummage sale over the weekend and almost overlooked it until its crudeness caught my eye. Something about it said...
