Serenity: Maidenhead Bar Bottles

[BigDumbWookiee]

Does anyone have artwork for these Maidenhead bottles, as well as suggestions as to where one could find similar glass bottles for custom jobs? I thought these all looked fantastic, and Im on the verge of picking one up, but it'd be kind of fun to just make my own too:

Whitefall did a version of the second one you posted.

 

[BigDumbWookiee]

Cool, that's the one I was actually toying with buying. Any suggestions on where I might find a suitable bottle?

I also did the "Earth That Was" whiskey label that was on propstore. Prints out at the correct size at 300 DPI:

Cool. I'd love an Earth that Was scotch label since I don't drink bourbon, but this'll do.

 

[BigDumbWookiee]

Any pictures of the whiskey bottle on screen? Are there any products I can find in stores that match the whiskey bottle, or the above green alliance bottle?

And last, is the whiskey bottle seen in Serenity, or just the Firefly series?

Here's a cap from Serenity showing the Earth That Was Whiskey Bottle...

It goes by in a flash, literally, as River spin kicks some poor *******.

It's the one on the far right, the short one.

Trying to get a better look at those other bottles...

Anyone know anything about that tall Blue Sun one?

Looks like a wax seal on the ETW whiskey bottle, I'd guess it's one of those bottles you get full of decorative vinegar or oil etc, I rarely see wax seals on modern alcohol bottles.

I stuck my label on a Canadian Club bottle since I wanted it to have real whiskey in it. I also liked the bottle glass because it's brown, makes me think old west when I see a dark brown bottle.

That Blue Sun bottle is definitely odd. The bottom looks like a standard plastic pop bottle, but I've never seen one with the top like that. Looks like I came pretty close to their label when I made my Blue Sun cola label.

 

[donsolo]

Yeah, I thought of that... if you could get a bigger screen shot of it I'm sure you could hammer out a new lable no problem.

Anyways, a slight lead on the green bottle: there are a few glass spring water bottles... I couldn't pinpoint one though. The old style Mountain Valley bottle looks promising, you can get one here - though that picture looks off... :confused

 

[BigDumbWookiee]

Wow, great find, that definitely looks close. Now on to that wiskey bottle.

That blue sun water bottle looks a lot like an Evian 1 liter water bottle (notice the faint semi-swirl pattern up above the label), but the neck is much taller, and the bottle is thinner too. Maybe an Evian bottle from a different (as in non-US) market?

 

[donsolo]

I'm wondering if maybe that screen cap aspect ratio is off... could someone possibly get a larger, clearer cap perhaps?

Hi .

Not from french market , because they sell 1.5l plastic bottle .

I am not sure but it could be an 1 liter italian spring water called "San Pellegrino".
I am looking to find a picture ...

 

[donsolo]

I found the San Pellegrino bottles as well - but they appear to have some embossed writing around the lower neck area that isn't on the prop bottle so I voted them out of my possibilities. See for yerself :confused

 

[BigDumbWookiee]

I ordered one of the Mountain Valley bottles on Amazon. Just a warning, shipping is expensive: $13 for me (Indiana).

 

[donsolo]

:eek ouch. I'll look around some local places for it I think.

Here's a cap from the HD version, maybe it'll be a little more helpful.

Linked for file size - It's nearly 6 megs, but I wanted to leave it uncropped and uncompressed so as to not introduce any additional artifacting into the image.

[BigDumbWookiee]

Wow, great capture. Hopefully someone can track down that Earth that Was bottle as well.

Hmm, that Blue Sun bottle in the front looks like it's just some kind of plastic water bottle. Look how the bottom of it is shaped.
