Help identifying bottle (wine?)

By purcy2500, 5 September, 2013
Description

This is a ceramic? Porcelain? bottle, green in color with tan and brown at the top. Measures about 11.5 inches high and has a handle. Is about 4 inches wide at widest point. Has 3/4 stamped on bottom along with the word France and a name I cannot make out. I played with this bottle in the 70's, it was my "I Dream of Jeannie bottle", much to my mother's dismay, but it remains intact. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Help identifying bottle (wine?)

Your bottle is from L'abbe Francois, a maker of cognac, brandy, liqueurs and alcoholic cordials.  There are a few examples of L'abbe Francois liquor bottles (though not in the form of yours) for sale on eBay now with asking prices ranging from $9.99 to $39. The miniature cordial bottles usually sell for around $15 each. The larger ones, while collectible, are not as desirable.
