Dear Members,

This is a bottle I recently picked up for a few dollars. It has decorations of flowers, birds, and rocks. It is about 3 inches tall. I think it is a newer bottle. Am I correct?

Thank you

Brian

Hi Brian,

I refrained from replying because I don't collect inside painted bottles. But I see that you post appears to have passed under the radar, so really only commenting to resurrect your enquiry!

In my opinion, it does look like a typical modern bottle, without any inscription, of the type turned out for the tourist market. But I'm sure others will be able to offer better comments.

Tom

Thanks Tom. I am pretty certain this is 1950s+ tourist bottle. It was $3.
