Decanter- Smoke with Gold Gilt (and stopper) ?
« on: May 25, 2011, 11:22:14 PM »
 :hi:   I am thinking this is Czech or Bohemian - but that is a guess.

Tall slender glass decanter that is a smoke color with gold gilt on it.  Has Squiggly lines on it with some the occassional white raised dots (only a few).  With the stopper it is about 15 inches tall, and about 5 inches wide at the widest point (with the handle).  Bottom has some wear, and a polished bottom.

Any ideas on the Maker, or the age.  It is quite striking!!

Thanks  :kissy:

Just a closer shot.  Gold Squiggles, some white dots -- and some kinda of patterned leaves on it (raised, can feel to the touch).  Not sure how to describe these ??? or what the material might be..

My guess is Weisswasser - but I cannot prove it.
