Victorian Liqueur Set

(1/3) > >>

ginfor:
I can guess late 19th century English or Bohemian, but can anybody come up with something more specific for this liqueur (I'm guessing) set?

The decanter has a nicely polished pontil:

The coloring and wear on the set suggest a late 19th century origin to me. I'm always open to suggestions if you can point to something more likely.

Of the other things I asked about, the only one I got was the Murano/Barbini tree, cheap.

General thickness and appearance are more 19th century, certainly not in line with most midcentury work. There are some small random bubbles, though not many.  It's good quality work, and I'd lean toward someone like Stevens and Williams if I could confirm they used this color combo.

I just put things under a blacklight.  The decanter body glows a bit green while the handle/stopper show somewhat orange.  I think that's manganese.  On the cup, the handle responded, but the body did not, which suggests they are not an original match.  Oh well, the go well together now.

Not victorian....20th century most likely

ginfor:
Is your response based on the cups or the decanter? As I indicated in the previous message, the cups and decanter are probably not originally a set.  Cups are probably later but hard to pin down.  As for the decanter, everything I can check about it says latter part of the 19th century. If 20th century then the very first part.

What's the 20th century response based on?  What part of the century?
