Hi folks.

I don't know much about glass, but browsing the internet superhighway I came across this wonderfull site  :D

And I was wondering if Anyone could help identify this glass decanter for me.

its 27 cm tall and weighs a whopping 1.6kg ( that's 3.5 lbs) theres no markings on the glass.

Thanks
