Vintage Highly Decorative Porcelain Bottle for Recipe - MY OWN SALAD DRESSING - Made In Japan

Description

Here's a great little display item for your vintage/retro kitchen. It's a profusely decorated little porcelain bottle marked JAPAN on the base. The front is colorful, ornately framed out and is full of information.

It reads, "MY OWN SALAD DRESSING - PREPARED FROM AN OLD SECRET FAMILY RECIPE - GUARANTEED TO CONTAIN ONLY THE FINEST INGREDIENTS - NOT AVAILABLE AT THE FINEST FOOD SHOPS - NOTE: RECIPE GIVEN FREE TO FRIENDS AND GUESTS ON REQUEST." Comes with the original cork stopper. I'm not sure when this was made but it's probably 50s, or 60s.

This bottle is in very good vintage condition. The front is a little out of focus in the photo, but the decal is actually crisp and clean-edged, and shows no loss of color or wear to the decoration or lettering. There is an old, faintly stained, fine hairline on the collar of the neck; it's on the left side of the bottle as you look at it and is not noticeable from the front. The bottle measures 7 1/8" high x 2" wide x 2" deep.

A WORD ABOUT ANTIQUE, VINTAGE & COLLECTIBLE POTTERY: Most of the china, pottery, porcelain, and dinnerware I sell is antique, vintage, or has been discontinued and is no longer produced. On close inspection, vintage pottery pieces may show bottom wear as evidence of age and previous use. Additionally, there may be glaze misses and pops, pattern irregularities, mold marks, inclusions of grit or sand, and various kinds of imperfections in the glaze surface—all done during the manufacturing process. These are expected characteristics of vintage pottery or porcelain and are generally accepted among collectors. I will, however, point out anything that might be seen as a negative and I will do my best to describe any chips, cracks or other damage that would impact the value of the item. It’s always possible that I might miss something, but I try very hard not to.

You can always Convo me if you have questions. And, out of all the gazillions of wonderful items on Etsy, I want to thank you so much for stopping by to see mine!
