Pacific miniatures #2
French Pacifica
France administers over 120 Pacific Islands as part of
two Territories, French Polynesia, which includes
Tahiti, and New Caledonia. It considers both to be part
of France, although independence movements do exist
in both. New Caledonia is the northern most part of the
largely submerged continent of Zealandia with New
Zealand being the largest part above sea level.
The above 5 clip top bottles are 5 of 7 I know about from Maison
Ridolfi who are based in Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia.
The rest of the photos on this page are also from New Caledonia
and may also be from Maison Ridolfi, although no manufacturer
is shown on any of these bottles.
