Lovely Antique Wicker Covered Bottle with Original Stopper greyhound blue and white plate which almost feels as ifThe original stopper on this suggests it was likely made as a cologne bottle, rather than as a flask, but I can't find another quite like it, with this pretty open weave pattern to the basketry and fancy weaving knotting around the neck, which I especially love like a ruffly collar! A nice example, and completely usable still. Early 20th century I would think, with a nice fat rolled lip with lots of bubbles on the blown glass bottle. 5 1 8" x 3 1 8",
