Description
"Forbidden Fruit Bustanoby Frères NY.
New York circa 1900-1920. Alcohol flask in the shape of a cruciferous orb. Glass rimmed with silver-plated metal in the English Renaissance style. Cross stopper with serifs and balls. Height: 17 cm (Wear, small accident in the rim)
This object is an astonishing testimony to the saga of the Bustanoby brothers, cadets from Béarn, originally from the hillsides of Gan, who emigrated to the United States in the pre-Prohibition era, where they made their fortune in the hotel and restaurant trade and in the production of spirits and liqueurs, including the highly prized "Forbidden Fruit".
