A pair of turn-of-the-century American saloon bottles, each with a colorful label-under-glass panel depicting a Victorian-era woman and beverage name. The “SHERRY” bottle features a portrait of a blonde woman with pink ribbon and pearls, while the “BLK. BERRY” bottle shows a dark-haired figure against a floral backdrop. Each measures approx. 11 ¾ in. high. The “SHERRY” bottle lacks its original stopper; the “BLK. BERRY” bottle has a visible crack in the lettering. These glass decanters were common on the back bars of saloons and used to market popular house blends in an appealing way. Provenance: Al and Carol Cali Collection.
