<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4000985, member: 8363"]I've had this bottle for weeks and didn't want to show it until I finally managed to unlock the top. I tried all the usual ways - silicone spray, DeSolv it, Goof Off, oil, putting it in boiling hot water with a ice cube on the top. Didn't budge. That's probably how I ended up with this beautiful object - no one could get the top off. Then I decided to try an old technique for opening jelly jars - I beat it around the collar with a wooden spoon and the top just fell off.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1061/1924/products/4_grande.png?v=1571606116" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>What I would appreciate is some help with when it was made and maybe, where. I can tell it is hand cut/engraved? because the cuts are uneven. I couldn't find a mark. It is 5 1/2 inches with the top on and 4 1/2 inches without the top and 2 1/2 inches in diameter at the widest point. I really like and I hope you do too. Any thoughts, ideas or comments will be gratefully appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]325613[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]325614[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]325615[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]325616[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]325617[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]325618[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]325619[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]325620[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]325621[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]325622[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
