DescriptionWhite opaque molded glass bottle with black glass trailing decoration, plastic screw top, polychrome printed paper label. From collections committee notes: "These unusual bottles are relics of a short-lived venture by the Welch's Company into alcoholic beverages, a reversal of the company's early twentieth century teetotal [temperance] marketing stance. Contemporary advertisements illustrate how the empty bottles may be transformed into fashionable 'moderne' lamps." See 14.2003, another bottle.
