Old Stoneware Ginger Beer or Spirits Bottle for Rustic Decor or Use as Flower Vase or Weed Pot
1 in stock
Vintage salt glazed stoneware bottle marked “Adecope” with brownish/dark taupe finish. The neck is threaded and has two notches, probably originally accommodating a porcelain stopper with wire bale, now long gone, and replaced with a cork, which is still inside the bottle. There’s an oval or oblong shaped depression on the shoulder–perhaps where a label had been placed originally? We’ve been unable to uncover any information about “Adecope.”  A couple of examples of this bottle are dated as being from 1900 to the 1910s, but we have been unable to independently verify this information. We surmise that it originally held some sort of fermented beverage, such as ginger beer, which until Prohibition was, indeed, alcoholic. Use it as a weed pot, vase, or simply as part of a rustic or cottage aesthetic. See dimensions and condition description below. Â
DIMENSIONS:Â Â 9 5/8″ tall x 3″ diameter at the base x 1 3/8″ outer diameter at the neck
CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition with some small white marks on the shoulder (see photos) and, as mentioned, a cork inside. No chips or cracks.

I purchased two items from this shop. They arrived surprisingly quickly, and it was evident that extreme care was taken to ensure they arrived safely. I greatly appreciate the attention and extra care when packaging up the items. How sad it would be to purchase an antique that has survived multiple generations, only to be destroyed by USPS! Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping experience!
