Heavy glass decanter and stopper with no cracks or chips. Metallic string around neck of bottle with foil tag that says "CANASTA" on one side and "Jacques Fath Paris France" on the other. Box is covered in dark pink moired fabric and is padded on top. Top had Fath family crest in gold (this is slightly worn off). On the front of the box in gold is "Jacques Fath" in script and "CANASTA" on the bottom of the front. The bottom of the box is gold and says "CANASTA, JACQUES FATH, COFFRET ETOILE, 1 FLACON 1FL.OZ, No 28 C, Made in France, Bottled in Paris". The inside of the top of the box is lined in silver satin. The bottom of the box is gold cardboard with a cutout for the bottle to set in. I have looked all over the internet and cannot find another one like it. Maybe it was a gift box or something? Most of the Canasta bottles are taller or different shapes. I found one bottle like it that was listed as Fath de Fath. I would like any information about it.
