This charming vintage green glass wine bottle, often repurposed as a decanter or decorative piece, originates from the renowned Dalmau Hermanos winery in Tarragona, Spain. The bottle features a distinctive flattened oval or canteen-like shape (also known as a pilgrim flask design), with a narrow neck and bulbous body, making it ideal for display or collection. The base is embossed in a circular pattern with "Dalmau Hermanos Tarragona" on the front, and additional embossing reading "Designed in Spain by Dalmau Hermanos Tarragona Bottle Made in Spain." The glass exhibits a beautiful aqua-green tint with subtle bubbles and imperfections characteristic of hand-blown or molded Spanish glassware from the era. Measuring 6.5 inches tall, 6 inches wide at the base, and about 3 inches deep, it's a compact yet eye-catching item perfect for mid-century modern decor, bar setups, or antique bottle enthusiasts. This bottle was likely originally used for housing Spanish wines such as Vin Rose or other liqueur wines produced by the winery.
Origin: Tarragona, Spain. Dalmau Hermanos & Cia. Suc. S.A., established in 1830, is a historic family-owned winery specializing in quality wines under the Denomination of Origin (DO) Tarragona. Located in the Camp de Tarragona region, the company has a long tradition of producing still wines, fortified liqueur wines (with alcohol content between 14-23%), and mistelas (sweet wines made from macerated must). They continue operations today, focusing on rigorous production processes to maintain traditional Spanish winemaking standards.
Age: Mid-20th century, most likely dating from the 1950s to 1960s based on similar embossed bottles from the period. This era aligns with the winery's production of decorative and export-oriented glassware, often seen in vintage collections.
Condition: Good vintage condition overall. The bottle shows typical signs of age including minor surface scratches, light interior residue or staining from previous use, and some exterior dirt or patina that adds to its authentic character. No chips, cracks, or structural damage noted; the embossing remains clear and legible.
Material: Green-tinted glass (aqua or seafoam hue), likely soda-lime glass typical of Spanish bottle manufacturing in the mid-century.
