It is the base of a bottle made by Archimede Seguso in 1969. It had a large animal stopper when it was made. Your bottle may have had a horse head or a penguin. The bottle held Cherry Ardo. It is too bad the animal is missing because they give the bottle value. Cherry Ardo is one of the liquors made by Luxardo. Archimede Seguso and others made decorative bottles for them.
