This is a rare Danish faience ceramic advertising bottle. It was made by Royal Copenhagen (as annotated on the base) and used to store Cherry Brandy for PH Heering.
It dates to the early years of the 20th Century - so probably now an antique piece.
The decoration on this piece of Aluminia Faience is in an inky blue and white. There is a ribbon banner which reads on one side Copenhagen - and on the other side Heering. The decoration consists of a stylised cherry tree with large globular cherries - and to give a feeling of distance there are three parallel lines running around the bottle to suggest distance.
It is inscribed on the base and with issue number 198 / 326.
The bottle is in good vintage condition with no chips or cracks. I love the little ceramic stopper in the shape of a crown.
The height of the bottle is 9 inches (including the stopper) and with a diameter of 4 1/4 inches at its widest point. The base is 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
These bottles are now hard to find - and this is reflected in my asking price. It looks fabulous on display.
Please note that the bottle is sold empty and no longer contains any brandy. It is all nice and clean inside.
