French Antique Stoneware Vinegar Bottle Bornier Dijon 10.5" Tall 0911235

French Vinegar Bottle

This antique French vinegar bottle represents the traditional vinegar-making heritage of the Bornier establishment in Dijon. Crafted from white stoneware, this French vinegar bottle features the original text "VINAIGREVRIEUX de vin rouge A L'ANCIENNE" indicating it once contained old-fashioned red wine vinegar, a cornerstone of classic French cuisine.

The vessel displays characteristic French pharmaceutical bottle design with a narrow elongated neck and rounded body typical of 19th and early 20th century commercial stoneware. Crisp black lettering contrasts against the white ceramic surface, while the original cork stopper remains intact. The number "143" appears marked on the side, likely a production or inventory marking.

Standing 27.5cm tall (10.5 inches), this substantial piece shows minimal wear consistent with its age and commercial use. The white stoneware construction remains sound with the text clearly legible. The cork stopper adds authentic period character and demonstrates the bottle's original functionality as a commercial vinegar container.

This piece serves as an authentic example of French culinary history and makes a distinctive addition to collections of French ceramics or vintage kitchenware. The Dijon provenance adds particular significance given the city's renowned culinary traditions.
