I recently moved to Panama and do a lot of scuba diving in the Caribbean waters around my home. There are literally hundreds of old bottles just offshore. I recently found a rectangle shaped bottle, clear glass, about 5 inches tall, that says "Lait d' Iris" on one side, "L.T. Piver" on the other, and "Superieur Aux Vinaigres", "Il En De Truit", and "Tousles Facheux Effetes" on the front. Going online I think that it might be a perfume bottle, but -i don't know if it is old or not. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey cappyjon431,

My French is nearly nonexistant, but I believe it to be "Milk of Iris,"Superior Vinegar," something, something, something...

I am sure there are others here better versed in the language. Keep showing your underwater dive discoveries.

Forgot to add that I believe L.T. Piver to be the maker's name.

Thanks for everyone's info. The bottle is 6 1/4 inches tall, and the seem goes past the shoulder, but fades before the lip. I will attach a few more photos, although the photo of the bottom is blurry.

Could not figure out how to attach more than one photo per post, so here is another.
