Flattened teardrop forms
Matching pair: Lots 150 and 160. Compare the broad rounded lower body and continuous narrowing toward a short neck. Both Bonhams descriptions identify a flattened teardrop form.
Separate outlines preserve each bottle’s proportions. These are manually drawn, approximate contour studies from the front photographs, with stoppers excluded—not precision measurements or proof of age.

Compare the contours
Aligned at the lip and base to the same height, with width scaled proportionally. Similarity belongs to the overall form; the sides, shoulder transition and foot are not identical.
Catalogue heights are shown separately and are not used as calibrated dimensions for the outlines. Camera angle and edge visibility affect the comparison.
