I’ve had this bottle for almost as long as I can remember. It was given to me as a piggy bank way back in the 70’s and although it holds no real beauty or value, it somehow never seems to reach the bin. I had a bad experience with vodka and cider combined at the tender age of 15 so I cant even claim to be a fan of the drink. Along with a fishing rod my grandfather gave me when I was ten, it sits at the side of the mantle-piece where it refused to be photographed. Even on top of the stove, it was a bit camera shy. Some of my other ornaments are stones I’ve picked up on the beach. Royal Doulton just doesn’t do it for me… lol

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer?

I found a Stolichnaya bottle from the 70s in my grandma’s house which I immediately stole. Very similar to this one

Herman/Andy: it was empty when I got it.

Method: Great minds think alike. Where do you keep yours?

I’ve got a Galliano bottle (half full of old fashioned marbles) that I’ve had for over 30 years.

I’m glad we all haven’t lost our marbles :)

I’m sure it’s pretty with the light shining through it.
