Zara Stampalia

[jonb12321]

Any help appreciated. I dug up this Zara Stampalia marked bottle, did some research, it seems it was used to bottle moschino cherry liquer in Dalmatia (Zara is the old name of a town in modern Croatia). The bottle has mold joints under and above the central bulge, also under the top. As far as I know it as made around 1880 but I haven't been able to find any info about the Stampalia liquer brand and there is no Austro-Hungarian eagle embossing, also the slender bottle shape is little unusual for the Zara-made liqueurs. Any info and any idea about value (I'm in the UK)?

Welcome to the forum. I have never seen a bottle like that.

The bottle came from a town now called Zadar but called Zara in old Yugoslavia (now Croatia). Here is a Wikipedia page on the liqueur type that was in the bottle which interestingly was first made in the town that your bottle was made in.
