That little pottery item is Beef Extract from Brussels. The strange little bottle is a cruet.

That is a varied trove of bottles. The milk glass bear appears to be sitting on a bee hive with another hive on its belly. That suggests this object was associated with honey -- a stopper, a handle for a dauber, etc.

The bottle with the constricted base and double pour-spout is a cruet from a caster set: casters.jpg

The ceramic pot with the cow is a beef extract (meat paste) container.

Thank you Leon for your post(s). I dug the heck out of Orange County, California back in the 1960s but little since and seeing your pictures right here on A-B.N, not having to go elsewhere, is a real treat for me. Keep 'em coming my man.

Great finds! The bottle with the glass stopper is a cruet that was meant to sit in a caddy. I found one similar... mine likely once had a brass cap (not recovered).

Yours has a similar shape. Mine did not have a glass stopper. it looks like mine poured from both or either side. LEON.

Ah, I see. Mistook the dual spout for a stopper. Definitely a cruet tho. Nice finds!
