This piece stands 16" tall and is believed to be the only one in existence. It may have a definite relationship and tie-in with Pemberton's French Wine of Coca which was a forerunner to Coca-cola. That is widely believed about this piece, although cannot be documented as of catalog date. Strong lettering and floral decoration remains on this piece as well as the gold accents. A few minor marks, dark spots but free of any cracks and chips. Very strong overall cond. at 9.0. being sold with a reproduction spigot as well as a brass lid which is not original nor pictured with the piece.
