**This is an empty, secondary-market display piece.**
This is a striking 19th-century hand-blown glass wine bottle, an impressive display piece for any home bar, wine cellar, or library. The bottle features a deeply molded, embossed glass seal on the shoulder and is finished with a period-style paper label. The base exhibits a distinct, rough pontil scar, confirming it was hand-blown using 19th-century methods. This bottle captures the quintessential, moody elegance of a 19th-century Bordeaux cellar artifact. Ideal for collectors of wine ephemera or interior designers looking for authentic "old world" character.
Age: 19th Century (Hand-blown glass vessel).
Material: Heavy, dark-tinted bottle glass, original paper label, wax-dipped cork.
