The red inscription above the castle reads “A greeting from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to Germany,” and a short verse about the region runs beneath the illustration.

Likely dating to the mid-to-late 1990s, this bottle is the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern edition from Altenmünster’s limited collector’s series honoring Germany’s 16 federal states after reunification. The stopper bears the Altenmünster name and its Marktoberdorf, Bavaria, address. Raised rope bands frame the neck and base, and a red gasket accents the wire swing-top closure.

Measures approximately 13.5″ tall, 7″ wide including the handle, and 5″ deep.

In very good vintage condition with light surface scuffs, minor wear to the stopper emblem, and rubbing around the base. The wire closure and red gasket are present. Sold empty. See less
