Hi,

Whilst I can't identify the decanter for you, (sorry), I have spent some time this morning researching, Creative Energies, Fire & Sea, Dartington......  What I have found is that the stopper looks very similar to a Kastrup Glasvaerk one.  Have a look at this site, which I think is Nics?

who no doubt will be able to add much more.....

I am finding my interest in decanters has been piqued recently and would very much like to know who made yours.
 

Hope its resolved.....

Sharron

I can say that it's not Danish... but that's about as much as I can add.

These pop up on eBay quite often, usually misattributed to Whitefriars.

Past thread: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,22191.msg125216.html#msg125216

Incidentally, the decanter on my site is also misattributed...  :-[ ...after some research it turns out the label is from elsewhere and the decanter is from Holmegaard's 'Rolf' series, c.1920. It's something that's going to get fixed during a big website shake-up in a couple of weeks time.

I always thought this one was Weisswasser - but cannot prove it...
