Extraordinay bottle showing the bust of the french president Jules Grévy (1879-1887).
It is marked "Jules Grévy/ 30 janvier 1879/ VOX POPULI/ D&D/ déposé"
D&D is for the alcohol maker "Delitzy and Doisteau".
C1890
I really love it, it look like a statue. Legras' factory has made a lot of bottle like mine, showing celebrities of this years like the french presidents, The pope, Pasteur, Garibaldi, The Tzar and the Tzarine, ...
Thank you for this - very helpful.
I bought another one a few weeks ago in a Swedish countryside auction (along with a smaller bottle showing a hand holding another small bottle), but could find nothing comprehensive on the Jules Grevy bottle apart from your post.
Best wishes,
Tim
