Speaking about witches and witch bottles...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_bottle http://www.apotropaios.co.uk/witch_bottles.htm http://www.bottesfordhistory.org.uk/page......46p.aspx The one in the Surnateum collection. Probably XVIIth century (Bellarmine or Bartmann jug) Contained iron and copper nails, a small iron cross, a piece of knotted rope... Whatever liquid was inside, it has disappeared thru the cork. The bottle was found inverted and the cork was damaged. |

It has far more possibilities than one may think (at least for a bizarrist).
As it's a counterspell, you may use it to guess who is (was) the witch trying to curse you. Maybe one of the Ipswitch witch ? You may also show ow the contains or the bottle react during a curse... |

It could pour, or not pour, depending on the words spoken. A beautiful piece!
