Square ribbed glass bottle with cork stopper in a gold tone wire lantern caddy holding a working music box that plays when lifted.
A vintage musical decanter in a decorative gold tone wire caddy styled like a little lantern, complete with a hinged carrying handle and pressed medallion accents. The real charm is underneath: a built in wind up music box mechanism that only plays when the bottle is lifted off a flat surface, a clever novelty feature common to mid century Japanese barware. Wind the key, lift the caddy by its handle, and the tune plays for as long as you hold it up. The bottle itself is faceted glass with a cork stopper, and the base is stamped Japan. The gold finish shows expected age with light scuffing and tarnish in spots, and there is some fine yellow fiber packing material still inside the bottle from storage, easily removed. A fun conversation piece for a bar cart, an apothecary shelf, or a cabinet of curiosities display.
