The Mystic Bottle of Wine. European, ca. 1880. Magician pours wine from a bottle, then produces ribbons from the neck of the bottle that are dry. For a finale, the bottle is placed in a decorated red tube. Moments later, the tube is split in half to reveal silk handkerchiefs, a canary, and a quantity of brightly-colored flowers. Cleverly-constructed mechanical bottle with lota-like feature for liquid load, trapdoor to conceal spring flowers, and locking door for second load. Height 11". Worn from age and use. First example we have seen.
