TxSilver:
antiquerose provided us with a handy link yesterday to some Venetian glass Drioli bottles. Your bottle looks similar one of these, so your decanter is probably Venetian. http://www.figuralminibottles.net/drioli/drioli%20venetian.shtml

thanks, I see the style! Venetian glass then! Guessing its most likely made in Venice  :mrgreen:

TxSilver:
Glass hasn't been made in Venice since the 1200s because there were too many fires. The furnaces were segregated on Murano. Many times the types of glass are separated into "Venetian" and "Murano" because of the difference in style. Venetian glass is more dainty and whimsical, while Murano glass is heavier. They are all made in Murano, however.

It is true for glass making but not necessarily for decorating.
