This very desirable gin bottle depicts St Laurens Church in Rotterdam embossed on the side panel. St Laurens Church has a history dating back to 1409, with various stages of construction through to 1655. The church survived the bombing of Rotterdam by the Germans in 1940, remaining as a shell amongst the complete destruction of the surrounding buildings in the inner city. The church was completely restored after the war.
