Vintage Double Springs Bourbon Owl Decanter

This is a vintage collectible ceramic owl decanter produced for Double Springs Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The decanter stands approximately 10 to 12 inches tall and is crafted from high-fired ceramic or porcelain with a rich, dark amber-brown high-gloss glaze. The piece is shaped like a Great Horned Owl perched upon a textured tree branch. It features deeply molded feather details overall and striking, round yellow eyes with black pupils that appear to be inset or specifically painted to create a lifelike gaze. The cap of the decanter is cleverly integrated into the owl's head, appearing as a crown or tuft, and it retains its original textured black metal screw-off closure. At the base, a metallic gold foil label is affixed, which identifies the brand as 'DOUBLE SPRINGS', notes the age as '100 MONTHS OLD', and specifies the contents as 'KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY'. Traditionally, these decanters were manufactured by companies like the Hoffman Distilling Company or potentially released in a series during the late 1960s to early 1970s. The condition appears fair to good; the glaze retains its luster without visible crazing or large chips in the primary areas of the body, though the label shows some minor peeling at the corners and the screw cap shows slight wear to its finish. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality figural barware from the mid-20th century, favored by collectors of breweriana and avian-themed decor.
