White House Vivreau Glass Water Bottle Presidential Seal Etched Wood Box

A Vivreau glass water bottle etched with the Seal of the President of the United States and the words THE WHITE HOUSE, complete with its branded wooden presentation box. The bottle is a tall teardrop form in clear glass with a swing top closure, a glass stopper and a wire bail. The reverse carries a second etched panel with a carbon footprint graphic and the line about environmentally positive water helping reduce your carbon footprint. The sliding lid box is stamped VIVREAU.  Vivreau supplies on site water filtration and bottling systems to institutions that want to stop buying bottled water, and the bottles are branded to the building rather than to a product. A White House marked Vivreau bottle is service ware from the house itself, which is a narrower category than souvenir glass sold to visitors. The swing top design is deliberately old fashioned for a modern system: a ceramic or glass plug held by a wire bail seals against a gasket and reseals cleanly, so a bottle can be refilled and closed hundreds of times without a disposable cap.  Condition is very good. The glass is clear and bright with no chips or cracks found, the etched seal and lettering are crisp, and the swing top closes and holds. The wooden box is sound with light surface marking and the sliding lid runs freely.  Measured against a rule the bottle stands about thirteen inches tall.
