121. I don't have one anymore. I got the pic on internet! Thought I would have some fun on this thread.

Sunday

I had an empty bottle when I was in high school. My parents gave it to me. In art class, we were required to do a still life. I copied the Mateus Rose bottle along with a bowl of fruit.

A year later, I put a candle in the neck of the bottle and let the wax flow down the bottle. We also had another bottle and did the same thing. The bottles would come out when we had spaghetti. They eventually disappeared when we moved. Who thought they would discontinue the bottle? It was so beautiful.

Lots of bottles are for sale on ebay. They run for about $15.
