Description

Here is a large metal flask with a cork stopper decorated all over with flowers and patterns in rich colours against a black background, executed in an attractive naive style.The bottle is made from metal sheets beaten together, which form a watertight bond.

The bottle stands 34cm tall with its wooden stopper in, and is 24cm wide and 17cm deep.

As displayed in the photographs, the bottle is very much in a 'used' condition with the knocks and scrapes of well over a hundred years of love and wear, but personally I think this adds to its charm.

I am also selling a smaller bottle ( please see separate listing ), so should you wish to purchase both, I would definitely look to give a discount for the pair.

I offer free postage to the UK and can help organise quotes for shipping abroad.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if I can offer any further information of photographs.
