Small Pocket Flask


Here is another finished project. I picked up this small pocket flask last week and I made up the leather case to protect and carry it in. It only holds about an ounce and had a label on it stating cherry brandy.
I thought it just looked cool! The flask looks to be made of porcelain and has an old look about it. The label also stated it was made in England.
