Questions & Comments
I'm positive that that is what it is--The black one has white engraving or whatever you call it on it. Go on lind and check Jack Daniels Decanter bottles/
hi ya'll, thank you for your thoughts on this, i know it is a pretty thing, it has caught my attention for years but my kids say i am a pack rat, lol, so it is time to clean my and shed, so have . lisa
so my only question is... why would an "american" company (Jim Beam/or Jack) (oh the painful memories of my 21st bday w/Jack - now 40/..) :o) LOL want to disguise itself as being other than "american"? Was it in appreciation to Egypt or Cleopatra?
Is it hand painted or is that a paper label? It is a wine jug. A urn would have a lid. Also it has a Eygtian murel on it. i have something similar but they are Greek.
I know exactly what it is. It's a Jack Daniels decanter bottle from the 60's. I have two of them--a brown like this one and a black.The brown one was given to my father-in-law for Christmas and I asked if I could have it after he was done. It is on my mantle.
An AMPHORA is an ancient shape, typically Greek, that held olive oil or wine, in shipping. They were designed to be stable while shipping, lying on their sides. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphora I don't think yours is ancient, but a modern version - more useful in today's kitchens.
