    Hello, i have a photo of a very interesting bottle that my grandfather's sister owns. First time i saw it, i was already intrigued. The bottle has an humorous and impish looking devil inside of it with a beer bottle and a pint. The devil itself is orange and so is the cap on this bottle. It is said that this item has been hand made and is in fact quite old. My grandfather's sister originally got this from her husband, this man was an avid collector of antiques and relics so i believe this item has some value, does anybody know more about this item?

    More of a decanter or flask than a bottle.

    It is depicting alcohol is the devils brew or drinking the devils water
    (if you believe that stuff):rolleyes:

    Bimini glass uses the same idea.

    I had a Mazzetti Grappa bottle that used the same technique.

    These are incredible. The skill required to fashion these from hot glass is mind-boggling.

    Oh that is wonderful. My gut reaction was Italian, and Bimini would be a good starting point.

    I could see this being Russian, some really nice glass figural decanters were produced in Kiev Ukraine during the SSR, have this cossack Vodka flask in my collection

    I was just wondering if this is a full size decanter or a miniature?

    It is a full sized decanter, thinking back now i don't remember if the cap is removable.
