Topic: Small waffle-moulded decanter

[Chris Harrison]

Picked this up for a couple of francs in a brocki in Switzerland. 

Without the flash, it's pink.  With the flash, it's more amber.

Free-blown in a diamond/waffle mould.
The stopper and neck have been ground to fit.  The neck is flat-ground on the top.

It's 6" / 15 cm tall without the stopper.

The underside of the foot has been marvered flat, I think, and has a very faint T-shaped gadget mark, which is a bit weird given the flat ground top rim (the gadget mark is too faint to photo, unfortunately)

Going by the colour I'd say Czech or maybe Polish.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Bärenhütte Weisswasser in Saxony looks to be a likely candidate.

Well, it's close to both Czecho and Poland
