Camus Napoleon Cognac, Bi-Centenaire de L’Empereur 1769-1969

One of our readers recently inherited a very interesting item as part of his mother’s estate. A very special Camus Napoleon Cognac porcelain bottle.

(If you also have a bottle you would like to submit, please use our form)

It comes in a white cardboard box, which contains a velvety blue card box inside. Opening this up reveals a blue ”bottle” of cognac in the shape of a book with a spare Napoleon hat ”stopper” for when it is opened. It is still sealed and not a drop has been touched.
