It is a female fox, with a white top hat with blue band and red feather standing up on front of hat (the top of the hat is the stopper, of course). She has blond, curly hair halfway down her back, white sleeveless low-cut shirt with gilding in gold around the neck line, arm holes, and waist band, and a blue skirt that is slit up the middle so it shows her tall black boots. Her thick, brown, bushy tail is curled around her feet so that the tip shows next to her left boot (your right) and her hands are behind her back. If she had a red coat on I would have thought she was a hunter but, when you turn her around, you see that she is holding in her black, elbow-length glove-covered hands and arms a rolling pin behind her back!!! The tax stamp that is supposed to be around her hat at the band is almost all pulled off (you can read nothing on it, it is just paper backing and glue) as is the stamp that continued down the back of her head to the end of her hair. The silver foil label on the front of the base is almost completely unreadable and is torn at the top left corner (your left). On the bottom, standing out in the ceramic are the words: ‘COPYRIGHT (symbol, actually) JAMES B. BEAM (curved around top of bottle base) DISTILLING CO. KY.-DRB-230. (I thought at first the ‘Y.’ was an ‘X’) GENUINE REGAL CHINA 1974 (there is a dot at the top of the four one space over) C.MILLER REGAL CHINA CORPORATION 145 LIQUOR BOTTLE DIMI (may be D1M1-these words curve around bottom of bottle base) There are also three slanted slash marks to the side in between the words ‘Distilling Co.’ and ‘KY.-DRB-230’. This is the best description I can give. I would like to know some information about this decanter as I do not collect these, I collect foxes (very hard to find!) so he bought it b/c it was a fox. If anyone knows anything about this bottle and can give me some information, I would appreciate it. He only paid $4.00 for it but that may be too high...he didn’t haggle b/c he wanted it for my collection of foxes. Thanks so much. I have enjoyed your website! Kay D.
