French bottle ID help
« on: May 19, 2010, 04:55:20 AM »
Hi
I bought this bottle and I cannot read the oon signifigant word that holds the clue.  I have used powder, paint ( to stamp it) and all sorts of light shades.
it is a bottle with lid and plastic stopper ( like old tupperware plastic)
the base say"
" ?....... deposer.
4 775L
bottle
made in france"
I have been googling with no luck.
It isd 23.5cm tall and the body and lid are ribbed

Question
1. is it perfume or decanter, bubble bath???
2.  what may the mystery word be?
looking forward to any suggestions
thanks

I considered it, I was thinking the last 50 years because of the type of plastic stopper adn the fact that it's not the sparkly new glass. I was just trying to think of what the other name was, and whether it's a vanity bottle, or to do with wines.

Thanks.

It may have been sold with liqueur in and is probably not as old as you think; that sort of plastic doesn't last long! The lack of sparkle is probably the cheap bottle glass (soda glass).

Somewhere in the sewers of my past memories this shape belonged to 4711 Cologne or something very similar.  I think it contained a perfume.

Not at 23.5 cm tall, unless it was 4711 bubble bath (and I've never seen that).
