Ok well, I need help with this one and hope everyone gets a chuckle. I am appraising a huge estate -- the family comes from France--- This is hand blown (really no pun intended here) My guess would be late 19th century, but I'm not sure. The bad pictures are not my fault.[attachment=IMG_4514.jpg] [attachment=IMG_4513.jpg]I cannot find a single comp for this type of bottle-- can someone out there please help?

Should not be a hard one to ID, possibly a dairy product, a creamer perhaps? Having the lower circular storage possibly hazel nut creamer? Tell us about the base, any markings or numbers? How far up to the top does the mold seam run? Considering the shape, it may have contained a ginseng elixir for the older gents.

Admin, I think not. But I can't speak for everyone. The stopper may not be original and would be very uncomfortable. A friend said, he saw a water bong identical to this bottle 40 years ago. He can't remember much else.

Anyone else out there ever seen anything like this? I do think the stopper was original to the piece. My guess would be that this was a novelty liquor bottle from a club or some such place... I really need help with value if anyone has any idea.

Hahahaha I haven't been here for a while but I'm glad i dropped in today! Funny stuff. :) I am going to go out on a limb here and say it is a "novelty Liqueur" bottle like someone said. It is to defined not to be a penis. I also believe the term "I could use a stiff one" came from using this bottle haha I will ask other people I know on other forums if I am correct.

That was quite a good joke there. I have thought of a few myself but am trying to be proper here... anyway, I really appreciate your offer to ask others if they know of anything like this bottle and what its value might be. Thank you so much!

this was a whimsy , the gaffer most likely made it at the end of the day. It's fee blown ( no seem ) lead crystal or quarts . 80 to150 years old.
