Glass decanter id request #1
« on: February 26, 2016, 04:27:09 PM »
Hi,

Can anyone help ID the maker and date of this decanter please?

I recently bought a job lot of decanters and would like to know more about them.

Any thoughts and ideas are gratefully appreciated.

Very Best Wishes, Michelle.

Please would you edit your titles on these decanter threads, so that each one is unique, to make it easier for us to know which one we're talking about?
Just a number would do, eg. "Glass decanter id request 1"
Thanks.  :)
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Hi Sue,

Yes of course, I apologize for any confusion over the threads.

I am struggling to find an "edit" function or button to alter the title on my posts? I had a look at the help and it wasn't listed there either.

Is there an edit function somewhere that I can't find, or would I need to re-post new threads?

Kind regards, Michelle.

That's strange. I just noticed "Modify message" function is available on my reply, but not on my original thread message?

Sorry, I had thought it was nearly within time to change.
We can ask one of our lovely helpful moderators to fix this for you. I'll do that now.
Don't worry about it.  :)

You can modify each post you make for an hour after you have posted it.
The title is included in your first post.

After that, if you want to change something, you'll have to go to the bottom of the post and click on the "report to moderator" button, and a little box will appear where you can type in a message to a moderator who can change things for you.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

A suggestion for future posts (and maybe even new pics for your current posts) ...

For clear glass items it is usually best to take the photo against a dark background - and try different shades of "dark" from mid-grey to black to see which suits the item and brings out the detail.
