    " Recorded in the sources relating to the Harrach glassworks in Neuwelt in 1770 we find "Wermuthstunnel "- little barrels for vermouth. At that time vermouth was a very popular and stylish drink "
    There are examples in From Neuwelt to the Whole World by Jan Mergl that is where the above quote comes from (p 46)

    I bought this little gem for a few dollars at an "" Antiques and Collectors "" fair some years ago in Queensland , It was more like a junk yard sale but with high prices for any rusty old thing. Idid not know what it was just that it was old and wanted to buy something after getting up in the middle of the night and driving for hours to be there.
    Made from Milk glass it is hand painted in coloured enamals ( maleri??)
    At just 2 inches high it is amazing that it has survived all this time and made it to this part of the world . Queensland was settled by a lot of "German " people so it probably came out with one of them . One can still buy up there German sausages and sauer kraut at country fairs !
