Paul Masson brand California wines were frequently bottled in a carafe like that from at least 1970's on. I don't recall seeing one with the glass "seal" or whatever it is on the front, but that type of carafe is very common, both in winery production and used to decant wines in restaurants for table service of "house" wines.

I found one of those with this stuff last year. The vicks is dated 30. The carafe is abm and has lots of tiny bubbles and an applied seal. I've often wondered if it has any value other than a decoration.

It says 1/4 di Litro across the top and vnc across the bottom. I'm assuming that it's italian. But I'm not really sure.
