    Not antique, probably 1960s-70s from Provence. I bought mine near Fontvieille, just east of Arles, where it was made locally.
    The rope is essential, so best leave it. It is missing a cork, which can be replaced. I believe it was used by shepherds and people working in the fields, for wine or water. They sell them as souvenirs now.

    Agree. Rope is the whole point.
