<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9780175, member: 2844&quot;]I am far from normal, but I was asleep when you posted this.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, it is a Moroccan kohl bottle. This type is not traditional as such, but all the elements are traditional. If that makes sense.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The flat finial of the applicator is typical of Moroccan kohl bottles, although not all bottles have them. Moroccan flat finials are usually shaped like a flame or a lozenge.</p><p>When more tourists came to Morocco, more traditional items were given a &#039;Moroccan look&#039; to be sold as souvenirs. The &#039;Moroccan look&#039; often involved bone panelling. Your bottle is an example of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Neither the one in the link nor yours are replicas. Both are a continuation of a tradition, but in a slightly different style than antique ones. Both are also mainly made for tourists or export. </p><p>Some are actually used. Sometimes you find black powder inside or blackening around inside the neck or on the applicator.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
