Description
Ceramic liqueur bottle for Orlow brand, produced by the Hartwig Kantorowicz distillery and liqueur factory in Posen, Germany, between 1880 and 1920.The Kantorowicz Family is very popular in Poznan, especially among the older generation. Kantorowicz’s had a factory (pictured above) producing great liqueurs, spirits and fruit juices, famous in Poland and in Europe and were also very well known throughout the world. In 1917, following World War I, the town which is now called Poznan became part of the newly reformed Poland. The distillery was founded in 1923 by a Jewish man named Hartwig Kantorowic. It quickly gained a reputation for creating high quality products and was a prosperous family business which opened several branches in Hamburg and Berlin. The majority of their products were liqueurs sold in glass bottles produced by Silesian, Saxon, and Czech glass factories. The distillery also sold patent medicines such as tonics and bitters in bottles they manufactured for their own products as well as several other companies. These products often included high percentages of alcohol and were heavily spiced with strong, supposedly medicinal herbs.Example from United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collection: https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn4106and also more info about this factory :https://www.peachridgeglass.com/2013/12/history-of-kantorowicz-family-and-their-factory/
