Hi Hokeypix,
The shape of your bottle IS a liquer-Benedectine,the first liquer in the world! There is a website that I have seen giving the history of the liquer but stuffed if I can find it now.Essentially,the Benedectine monks infused herbs and other botanicals in brandy as a medicine,l.o.l.Don't know when they abopted that shape of bottle but I'd say you have a Benedectine liquer bottle from around 1880-1890.

Hope this helps,

KAT

Hello hokeypix,
the dutch used such bottles for gin or genever.The bottles had been partly produced in the region east of Koblenz on rhine /Germany. The bodys of the bottles are prepressed, so they date after 1880.

This glass bottle could be a Benedictine bottle. (As KAT points out) the monks claim that this liqueur was first produced as a herbal medicine in 1510 at the Benedictine monastery in Fe'-camp, in France, by Bernardo Vincelli. Now sold as a liqueur, Benedictine is a secret formula based on cognac brandy with 27 plants and herbs.

The letters D.O.M. appear on Benedictine bottles (though they may appear on paper labels, I suppose). These letters stand for Deo Optimo Maximo ("To God most good, most great").

I dug a bottle just like that one that was embossed "Burgundia Coca".
I was told it was cocaine. There were several bottles that were broken but only one whole one to be found.
