This bottle was produced through the late 19th century into the early years of the 20th and more than likely contained gin. The bottles were available in three sizes - 1/2 litre, 3/4 litre and 1 litre. This is the 3/4 bottle, the rarest of the 3. It has a lovely rich terracotta colour with the slight iridescence of salt-glazed pottery.

As the world’s oldest distilled spirit brand, Lucas Bols company was founded all the way back in 1575 at Het Lootsje, ‘The Little Shed’ distillery, just outside the capital city. Distillation took place outside using water from a stream. It continues to operate today, as one of the largest and diverse brewers in Europe. Perfect Vintage Collector Item.
