KLM Delft houses come to mind ... esp since they're still worth keeping on a shelf when empty

You have a point -- "houses" like the ones from KLM (the photo on the left shows a handful of the 200 KLM houses and palaces I had), and similar ceramics from many other distillers (right hand photo) still look good when empty, but I never opened them either. Not sure they would taste quite right after decades on the shelf!
