The front features a detailed etching of a floral bouquet framed by graceful garlands and a central medallion. The base features relief lettering with the inscription 'ENGARRAFADO EM PORTUGAL', confirming its origin. The bottle is complete with the original cork, finished with a metal stopper and ring. The height is approximately 22 centimeters.
The object is in good vintage condition, commensurate with its age and previous use. The glass is intact, and the etched decoration is clear and well preserved. The cork and metal finish display an authentic patina that contributes to the historical character of the piece.
This decorative bottle looks excellent in a classic or eclectic interior. The object functions beautifully as a standalone decorative piece on a sideboard or as part of a collection of barware on a vintage drinks cart.
