ID Decanters
« on: February 24, 2013, 08:10:47 PM »
I run a programming club for my son and some of his friends and we are all building our own websites.  As I collect and own a few hundred decanters (yes, I know I am out of control)  I thought I would build a website about decanters.  This is a just for fun thing.  For quite a few I of my 20th century decanters I have no clue who made them. I have bought them because I thought they were great designs, and usually because they were a bargain.  Any great design that is cheap is a bargain in my eyes.  If you help me ID them I would be happy to credit you on my web site too.

I would like to start off with a couple of art deco style goodies you might be able to help me with .  They are both quite distinctive and that is why I am hopeful.

nice pieces Kevin  -  do we assume you've been through Andy McConnell's book  -  it might save time knowing that you've looked already. :)

Where does someone store 'a few hundred decanters' :o

Yes, I have that book, and dozens of other glass books too, and I haven't found these beauties.
The answer to keeping hundreds of decanters is keep them everywhere.
From a purely looks and feel point of view the black and amber one makes me think of Webb, and the green and clear of Whitefriars.  That is only on what appears to be references/descriptions that look vaguely similar.

Decanters are quite addictive  :) I often hear the words from my partner "not another Decanter!!" She has no eye for the beauty in glass (philistine)  ;D ;D ;D but doesn't mind so long as I move them on eventually. I currently have only 6 at home but she thinks its 2. They look good as a display in my eyes at least.
Pete. :-)
