The Drake started life on a man's dresser, sometime around 1970, full of aftershave — Wild Country, probably. Avon made these figural decanters by the thousands and men across America kept them long after the last splash, because a green glass duck is a hard thing to throw away. His body is deep forest glass, his head is the cap, and the wear on his silver crown is fifty years of being handled and kept.
He belongs on a bookshelf, a bar cart, or a desk with a lamp — lodge energy, no lodge required.
