Hello again,

This thread, started by Tom, is one of my favorites on the Forum.  I'd like to add one more and hopefully get comments about it's possible dating.  It measures 2 15/16" w/o the rose quartz stopper, has a slightly concave lip and rests on an oval recessed foot rim. And, as far as I could tell, moderately well hollowed, but not extreme like others I've seen. My grandfather gave it to my grandmother in 1951.  And though I know it has no bearing on the bottle, I really like the spoon on this one!

Cheers,

Rube.
