me and my dad are divers and we found these bottles a while back

[Aruba1988]

just of the coast of Aruba we found these a few years ago till now they are just decorative items but would be also great if they are worth something or have some interesting history

they haven't been found in the same place they where found in different places around the island

European mineral water or gin on the left, common and not all that valuable unless they are stamped with a desirable company name, the teal one in the center may be a good one. What does it say on it??
Welcome to the forum.....Jim

I see the teal one is a Erven Lucas Bols, it's a gin bottle, I have never seen them in glass... I love the color[]

They made alot of figural animal bottles as you can see on Ebay...

They are most likely gin bottles, it looks like Amsterdam on the blue one, and the stoneware could be from anywhere say Germany or probably Netherlands also. I don't think there's much value in the stoneware, it's very common, even with labels they don't generally sell for much more than $20. at least around here.

The blue one on the other hand may be a valuable bottle to someone, I do not know anything about that one but someone else here is likely to respond with a value and some history. We have members from around the globe on this forum.

Condition means a lot, if you could post some other pics of the blue one, say the top and base, a close up of the embossing also....would help.

Any other finds?

The stonewares are all fairly common and worth $15-20 if you could find a buyer, but I really like that glass gin for sure, some pics outside in the sunlight would really do it justice, i don't know it's value though.
