J.H. Henkes (stoneware?) Bottle

[Artsy]

Hi All,
I'm new here, and this site is awesome! So glad I found it.
Yesterday, my Mom asked me if I could find out anything about this bottle. It is 12" tall, and 3" in diameter. After doing some searching, my uneducated guess was a gin bottle? Any insight that you could provide would be appreciated. Thank you!

Welcome to the forum! You're right that it's a gin bottle, here's a picture of a labeled one on an old advertising sign:

Hard to say how old it is, the basic design of these stoneware gins remained unchanged for a very long time. The glass bottle depicted on that sign looks relatively recent (mid 20th century or so) so they were still using them pretty recently. The font used in that stamp doesn't look super old to me either, so I'm guessing 1930s-50s or so for yours, but that's just a very rough guess.
