Jas Hennessy & C° On cap (top, embossed): JAs HENNESSY & C° COGNAC 2) Visual elements: Notable graphics include a shield-shaped label on the neck with three outlined stars. The main label features an emblem of an armored arm holding a halberd, surrounded by a decorative border of grapevines. Font styles include a bold, slab-serif font for "HENNESSY" and other serif fonts on the main label. The lower part of the label uses a sans-serif font. Bottle form: The bottle has a standard shape with a tall body, sloping shoulders, and a medium-length neck. The closure is a silver-colored metal screw cap. The glass is a greenish-amber color. CRITICAL: Label and Bottle Condition Assessment Label condition: The labels are heavily yellowed and discolored with age. There are scattered stains and foxing spots, particularly on the main label around the emblem and along the edges. The neck label has small tears and paper loss along its top edge. The labels are fully attached with no major peeling. Capsule/Seal condition: The metal screw cap is intact but shows some tarnishing, minor scratches, and small dents on the top surface. Tax stamp/band: A paper tax strip is present around the neck below the cap. It is broken, torn, and partially missing, especially on the right side. The remaining portions are faded and discolored. Cork/Stopper condition: This is a screw cap closure; no cork is visible. The broken tax stamp strongly suggests the seal has been broken. There are no signs of leakage around the cap area. Glass bottle condition: The glass is in good condition with no visible chips or cracks. There are some minor scuffs consistent with age. The glass is clear. Overall condition summary: Overall condition: Fair. Main issues: The fill level is very low, indicating significant evaporation.

Mid front label: Dominant graphic of an arm holding a battle-axe (the Hennessy emblem) surrounded by scrolling grapevines and leaves, all in dark ink on a light, aged background.

Two medallions are at the top and five are in a row along the bottom. The neck has a paper strip label. Font styles include cursive script for "Ron" and "Superior", a distinctive serif font for "Bacardi", and block/serif fonts for the remaining text.

Label and Bottle Condition Assessment: Label condition: The labels are in heavily worn condition. They show significant and widespread age-related yellowing, foxing (brown spots), and staining. The edges are frayed, and there are small tears and creases, particularly on the "IMPORTED" neck strip which is torn and peeling away from the glass. The main label has peeling and wear along its right edge and bottom corner. Capsule/Seal condition: There is no traditional capsule. The black screw cap appears intact and unopened, but shows age with some scuffing and dust. Tax stamp/band: A partial State of Illinois tax stamp is visible on the left side, but it is torn, faded, and difficult to read. The "IMPORTED" paper band on the neck is torn and damaged.

1) Text on label: Box label: GRENADIER There are several small, circular stickers on the box with illegible text. GRENADIER CREAM SHERRY BOTTLED BY GRENADIER SPIRITS CO. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 2) Visual elements: The bottle is a special form, a figural ceramic decanter shaped like a Grenadier soldier in a black, white, and red uniform. The box in the background has a matching illustration of the soldier. The font style for the text on the box is a bold, sans-serif type. Bottle form: This is a special form, a ceramic figural decanter. The shape is that of a soldier. The neck is integrated into the body, and the closure is a ceramic stopper (the soldier's head) which likely has a cork. The bottle material is opaque, multi-colored painted ceramic, not glass. Label and Bottle Condition Assessment: Label condition: There are no paper labels on the decanter itself. The painted ceramic surface appears to be in good condition, with no major visible chips, fading, or damage, though the image is dark and somewhat blurry. Capsule/Seal condition: The stopper, which is the soldier's head, appears intact and fully seated. There is no outer capsule, foil, or wax seal. Tax stamp/band: No tax stamp or band is visible. Cork/Stopper condition: The internal cork's condition is not visible. There are no apparent signs of leakage or staining around the junction of the stopper and the body. Glass bottle condition: The decanter is made of ceramic, not glass. The ceramic appears to be in good condition with no visible cracks or significant scuffs. Box/packaging: A cardboard box is present behind the bottle. The box shows noticeable wear, including worn edges and corners, creasing, and some discoloration. The left flap is open, and white packing material is visible inside. Overall condition summary: Overall condition: Good. The ceramic decanter appears to be in very good shape with no obvious damage. The main condition issue is the moderate wear and open flap of the original box. Decanter: A figural ceramic decanter shaped as a Grenadier soldier in uniform. A small rectangular gold foil label is affixed to the soldier's chest (upper label). The label has a decorative border and a small stylized emblem (possibly leaves or wheat) between the product name and bottling information. The product name text is in a decorative serif font, while the bottling information is in a smaller sans-serif font. Box: The main panel of the box features a large illustration of a Grenadier soldier, matching the decanter's design, against a textured, patterned background. A red banner with "GRENADIER" text is in the lower right, and a small coat of arms or emblem is in the upper left. The "GRENADIER" text on the banner is in a bold, block sans-serif font. 3) Fill level estimate: Fill level not visible: Reason: The bottle is an opaque ceramic decanter, which makes it impossible to visually inspect the liquid level or determine the amount of evaporation.
