Topic: Pea-Moulded Decanter - Possibly Norwegian

[Pinkspoons]

I picked this up at the weekend from a Dane who said it's Norwegian, c.1880-1900. Really not my field, so I'd not know where to start!

It's 180mm tall and 130mm diameter. The optic moulding is on the inside, whilst the outside is generally smooth - aside from lots of striation, especially around the neck where the glass is positively wrinkly. Moulded base, with a faint cross to the base, possibly indicating a four-part mould? The grinding on the stopper shaft and inside the decanter neck is coarse and uneven, and the decanter lip is cut at an unintentionally slightly jauntly angle.

All these (many) flaws aside, it is a terribly decorative piece.

Any information greatly received.

Perhaps this would fare better on the main board?

One year on, and I find a companion for my decanter...

A broad goblet with wrythen trumpet-shaped foot. Very similar mould, and an identical colour, so I believe them to be from the same factory.

Does the style shed any light on its manufacture? It looks quite Germanic to me, but then the Scandi countries, assuming it is c.1880-1900, were heavily influenced by glass from Germany and Bohemia at this time.
