FRENCH BASKET FIGURAL INK. 2.2ins tall, bright greeny aqua, sheared lip. Figural compressed barrel shape, basket-like design, probably meant to echo a bottle covered with rattan protection. The maker was unknown when Inks Book went to press (listed under barrel shapes as B8.3, p.44), afterwards identified from a catalogue advertisement (see BBR 176, p.34) as a French bottle used by J Gardot of Dijon. Other bottles from this company are listed on p136 of the Inks Book. Extremely rare figural, approx. 6 known. Exc/A1.
