I am selling this super really cool antique or maybe vintage decanter. It is a pretty cool and is made of porcelain or ceramic and is a cute little badger family. This is stamped 1980 and on the bottom it says " Limited Edition ski country Badger. Golden Colorado. But I also found some have exterior labels mine does not but I included a picture or two to show what they look like just for extra information. That label says:

Ski Country Art

KENTUCKY STRAIGHT

Bourbon Whiskey

80 PROOF

BOTTLED BY SKI COUNTRY LTD,

I found a little small description about the company that made these decanters and it says that the company began in 1979 so this was one of the very first designs!

It is in pretty awesome condition, especially considering it is almost 50 years old!

It looks very vintage and would be a really cool decorative item.

I got this at an estate sale, and the nature of estate sales are such that you often never really know the source of the items that you are buying, you have to do a lot of guessing as to the worth but I do have this little info that I will include here:

Ski Country

American Whiskey

Ski Country whiskey decanters are esteemed more as works of art than containers for alcohol and are collectible. The subject of a series of wildlife, famous buildings and even whole states as decanters began in 1974 and continued until 1983, ending with the Dancer series designed by Barbara Foss. The decanters were usually 600ml in size, most with matching miniature variations.

Foss Drug introduced a house bourbon called Ski Country in 1972 that came in a choice of three porcelain art decanters sculpted in the form of skiers. The porcelain liquor decanters were produced in limited quantities and bottled by Ski Country Ltd. , in St. Louis, Mo. The Ski Country brand name was owned and registered by the Foss Company of Golden.

For nearly 25 years Foss would produce 195 different decanter designs, ranging from waterfowl and wildlife to Indians and rodeos. They were extremely popular and even spawned their own national collector club, catalog, newsletter, and yearly sale that attracted people from all over. By the 1990s the decanter craze was over.
