Is it a bottle, or a Decanter?  Can we see the top, and inside opening?  Is the top piece a glass stopper?

It is not that bad keith -- how tall is it?  I have seen worse things......believe me.  what is the color inside?  Multi or white?

I have seen a couple of round versions before (no identifying marks), fairly certain they did not have stoppers,  do you think the stopper is original Keith?

Looks like a piece of 70s Italian madness.  I quite like it!  Not sure about that stopper either.

I am not a man
