Heb geduld, het is de vakantieweek hier, dus mensen zullen een beetje traag antwoorden.

I used Google translate so I hope that said this...Have patience it is the holiday week here so people will be a bit slow replying. [beg.gif] This usually is a bit slower time period on wine forums, I'm sure someone will chime in.

The bottles themselves look pre-WW2 but hard to tell if they were made like that on purpose or because they really are old. Can you give any information as to where they came from or any other known information about them? Even a little bit sometimes helps.

Thanks Andy,

Sorry I am new to this forum and have just joined.
And recently I discovered the Madeira wine really gold. :winepour:
So I am somewhat impatient about this is not the intention.
The bottle (1 piece) comes out after some research plus minus 1850 - 1900, it is really old.
I bought it at an auction with other beautiful Madeira bottles.
The bottle is most likely made in the Netherlands.
The bottle without content was once offered at a German auction and raised 150.00 euros empty.
I hope the experts on this forum might know more.
I am waiting for your answer with patience ..... :wink:
