Vintage Mojonnier Milk Sample Bottles
What am I using them for??
What am I using them for??
For storing my ground and pulverized botanicals for my soaps!
With a good scrubbing and sterilization, they're just perfect for storage.
These bottles lived in the basement for years before I thought of a good use for them. By the way, for those of you who haven't seen my basement, just suffice it to say that they were in lots of good company. Anyway, some years ago Kevin found these in an old abandoned building that was being demolished. He brings me junk on a regular basis - some of which I'm happy to see, and some of which I don't let past the kitchen door.
'Thanks, Honey, but NO. Please don't bring that any further. No, I mean it. I can smell the mold from here. No, really. I'm sure it's nice, but NO, please...sigh.'
Lest you think that I'm an ungrateful wretch, no, I'm not really. I even let him keep the porcelain men's (please don't ask) antique hospital bedpan in some color that was reminiscent of pale mustard. I'm hoping the color was under the glaze, not on top. But that one isn't stored in the house. It's outdoors somewhere, enjoying the fresh air. thank goodness.

The bottles have a little shield symbol with the name 'Mojonnier' on a 'ribbon,' running diagonally across the shield - and a patent number on the bottom front.
For some fun photos of milk sampling from a bygone era:
Hey, I have one of those!
I wonder what all that green and pink stuff is.
Check out this USDA article where I found the old photos.
