    Paid a visit to my grandmother and discovered she had this old Garnier Aztec design, ceramic decanter. As far as I can tell, it has never been opened and retains ALL of its 3/4 of a quart of liquer. My research led me to believe it was bottled in the 1930's, but I would like to know if anybody on this site can tell me what these crazy bottle designs are all about and possibly narrow the vintage down to a particular line of liquers or bottle runs.

      Apparently bottle model 213 dates to 1965. Probably specifically for the American market hence the label, and the spelling of "color" in the second image, as the US FDA regulations demanded ingredients of imports, to be declared.

      Note also that Garnier Liqueurs opened a subsidiary distillery in the US, in order to avoid having to declare the recipes of various products.

      I've had something like that but more vase shaped, it was marked CUCCHI Made in Italy with the same style of black ink.
