Just a real old milk bottle from the early 1900's I got from my dad, don't have a picture though.

Thanks Anna. No, it's not old, but it is made similarly. I may put all the buttons I find in it. Wine is sold in these bottles now.

Refreshing an old thread here. I can't imagine collecting too many bottles this size, it's hard enough finding space for the normal sized ones. This is a common Mount Vernon Pure Rye Whiskey in an uncommon size. Blown with an applied top. I would love to see how that was done. It measures 10 1/2 inches square and is 23 inches tall. I put a Hobbleskirt and a calabash (GI-102) with it for scale. I'm terrified the dogs or someone will bump the cabinet it sits on, could be a dangerous breakage.

Thanks Tinna. I never really got a look at it backlit before I took the photo last night. It really brought out the color. I used a 100 watt reveal behind it. It normally sits in front of a wall in a dimly lit but mostly safe area.

How big around is the lip on that?

Just FYI...I'd find a way to light it up all the time...like those small spotlight type lights...something...I would definitely want it to be safe - but I would definitely want to see it EVERYDAY!

Again - fantastic...
