Almost my first thoughts. 1. It looked too good. 2. The label shows a bottle and a glass. What I am having a problem resolving is the paper of the label, not newsprint or any other paper I am used to seeing. There is a shadow imprint I can't make out. The edges are ragged not neatly clipped, when I find my black light I'll check to see if that reveals anything.

Looks exactly like the ad from the issue of Harper's Weekly that Lobey posted years ago, could have been clipped or torn directly from an old issue and glued to your pot like Matt said...
