The label is modelled in an unusual die stamped vine leaf, with matted surface,  a different design to that as seen in London at this date.  The centre is engraved on a raised banner with CREMA DI VINO and the reverse displays a good set of marks.  This piece is in quite excellent condition and considering its size, it has a length of 2.5 inches and a width of 2.5 inches, at the widest point.  As you will appreciate, it is rare to find an Irish made Crema Di Vino label, however to find one by a scarce Cork maker is very desirable indeed.
