That's an incredible bottle. I believe it to be ceremonial also. It could have held wine or some other liquid to be poured into 2 glasses at once (to symbolize the 2 came from one, or something to that affect). But this is just a guess from watching a lot of discovery / history channel. [:D]

I'm not an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Hello Joe,

Well it's not great grandad's traditional looking gemel bottle. Check this one. Is it 2 separate bottles incorporated into one? Looks kinda 'minty.'

Curious...even though this has two spouts...it doesn't look like two separate cavities in the bottle itself...is it two spouts coming from one bottle?

Any markings on the metalwork anywhere? Even under magnification?

***Love the green!

Yep, two spouts on one bottle with no divider. I don't see and marking, however I haven't tried magnifying.

Sorry Jamie,

I know...but, he was the only gemel guy I could find on short notice. Hope this is easier on the eyes:

I've also heard the Indian/Persian connection...supposed to catch a woman's tears...don't know the details.
