Help identifying bottle (wine?)

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.

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.
