On the front, the right side for the most part looks like it was easier for the painter than the left side - it's slightly better, in my opinion. and those little white lines in the middle at the top that curve down - that's lefty too.

Thats the one. Thanks Woody. The shape looks very similar to the ones in the pic with the 3 bottles in it, only the color is much nicer.

I'll take some better pics for everyone......give me a couple minuets.

Here's some better pics. Thanks for the very generous offer Jamie, but I think I'll pass[]. If it is a repro, it's a damn fine one and still worth more then I payed for it for sure.

It looks new to me but it is nicely done.

As is often the case Doug and I find ourselves in the same boat. I too have a very strong suspicion that the bottle is modern.

I just found this on an English museums web site. It was made in Bohemia in 1572. Notice the neck and the closure. I would never guess this was 14th century. My guess is that this would appear modern to you as well, as it would to me too.

Jeff, I know you know your stuff - can you please elaborate for those of us that don't so we can learn something?

Thanks!
