Benedetti and Zamperoni. The next Venus bottle is also from Drioli. We cross the Atlantic
for the maker of the next two, Gemini, but they are as Mediterranean as the rest. Venus
Rising from the Sea manages to cover her ‘naughty’ bits. And David is wearing a fig leaf.
Last time I looked the real David (myself and the statue) was not wearing a leaf! The last
Venus was also issued by Blue Ridge.

Our final ceramic Venus comes from Luxardo of Italy.
There are at least two label variations of this. The very
last Venus is glass. This is from Japanese company
Monde, otherwise known as Morozoff, and you will find
this bottle under both names. Monde have also made a
Venus Rising from the Sea bottle but I do not have a
good photo. Monde have also made a mini (several
variations in fact) of a little boy having a pee and a
similar bottle has been made by Manneken-pis of
Belgium. We have not shown these as we would not
wish to be accused of paedophilia. For this issue at
least, miNiZ is a responsible porn mag!

Before we leave the Mediterranean there are a couple
more miscellaneous bottles to show you.

Jungfrau
was made
in Italy by Valenti but I would assume for the
German market. The bottle on the right is
another one from Campeny.

Africa is known as the Dark Continent. I have
never been sure whether that was for the
colour of the people or whether it was
because it was considered mysterious. The
first six bottles are all from Drioli and the
next two from Luxardo both of Italy.
