Mystery bottle. What is it?

(1/3) > >>

RoynMargaret:
I have this bottle, the like of which I have never seen before (nor has Margaret and she is ex-president of a winemakers guild).

It is a finely blown bottle with a long neck and what looks like a bunch of grapes INSIDE the bottle but open to the air via a side vent.

Does it have a function or is it just a glass blower showing off his skills? It is along the same lines as a glass frigger ship inside a bottle.

Approx 30cm tall.

keith:
Although I have not seen one like this there are bottles with an internal space for ice,would this be a fancy version? or am I piles,I mean miles away? :wsh:

How would you get the ice in?
However, it has been speculated that a coloured liquid could be put in the 'grapes'.

It's a liqueur bottle. You see loads of them in airport off-license placeys, all sorts of different bits inside, sometimes coloured too.

Ah well. The last time I was in an airport was 1992.  :hi: But I would like to see another example. It is very finely (fragile) blown to withstand commercial usage, especially with the long thin neck.
