Description

This lot consists of two clear glass vessels featuring hand-painted folk-art style decoration.

The base of the carboy is embossed with the text HEAT WARNING GLASS FRAGILE BOTTLE GALLON LIQUID and the numeral 5, surrounding a central stylized maker mark featuring the letter V. The second item is a standard wine-bottle shaped vessel with a cork stopper, similarly decorated with hand-painted grape clusters. The base of the smaller bottle features molded numerals including 6, 9, 3, 0, and 1. Both items are made of clear molded glass with surface-applied pigments.

Capacity: 5 Gallons (carboy).
