Description
2 Similar Chinese Silver Cased Glass Haig's Pinch Bottles, the silver casing pierced and engraved as bamboo or flowers usually in Hong Kong, 1 with rubbed silver hallmarks to foot ring, the other marked "WK" with silver hallmarks, and both with silver and cork stoppers. Height with stopper of slightly larger 11 1/4 inches (28.5 cm.). NOTE: Haig's Pinch Scotch Whiskey was something of a rare luxury in Hong Kong in the early years of the 20th Century and the empty glass bottles were sent to silversmiths for enhancement and new stoppers to be used as decanters.
