PLACE REPRESENTED:   Croatia

ITEM: Bottle

NOTES: A modern version of the traditional Croatian spirit bottle. There is actually a bottle encased in the carved wood. A good idea, especially if you drop it after, err, a few shots. No doubt it is meant to hold slivovitz (plum brandy) given the fruit carved into one of the faces (which look to be plums). This is wonderfully detailed with the Croatian emblem and colours. A bonus would be if it came with slivovitz. Wait, I think it did … but it is all gone now. Evaporation?
