I have found a large shard of an amber glass bottle, oval or flask shaped, Owens-Illinois bottle, with a beatiful embossing of reeds and rocks? I will attach pictures. Does anyone recognize this ? what is it from? Thanks in advance

Wish I could help; but I'm looking forward to see what your inquiry turns up. Good luck!

Reminds me of the Old Quaker Whiskey bottles from shortly after Prohibition, but I can't find any that quite fit. Regardless it's most likely some sort of whiskey from that era, when the bottles were very elaborately embossed. There's a good chance that there was a picture of someone standing on top of the grass and rocks, even if it wasn't the old Quaker.

Thank you very much for your insight.
