Dear Joey,

That was my weird sense of humour again, sorry.

I am posting a picture, sorry for the quality but I didn't want to reveal where I found it.

This was not a bottle I had any intention of buying as the price is far higher than the bottle deserves. I was interested because I have seen numerous moulded bottles but never one like this.

You see modern copies of older bottles, for instance squirrels on cobs of corn etc, so I assume this bottle is a copy of an older one that exists which is why I asked if anyone had seen anything like it before.

I am trying to ease myself into buying better bottles but a very nice Lac Burgaute one I wanted to bid on last week went higher than I was prepared to pay the second bidding opened but on reflection it was worth it and I need to readjust what I am willing to pay to get quality.

Regards, Adrian
