Topic: Decanter question

[The Glass Staircase]

Unfortunately I couldn't find the thread mentioned as the search only brings up this thread as a result doh! I was reading Miller's Glass Checklist Booklet by Mark West last night and on the Irish Decanters page there is a small paragraph stating that some Continental decanters have moulded fluting on the base but are never made of crystal (which this decanter isn't) and have crudely made, pressed spire or mushroom stoppers. So it seems that this decanter could be Continental after all but from exactly when is still a mystery

That's because you were using the wrong search box. Clicking search at top left and putting Georgian decanter in the search box brings up 30 threads...

Hi ,
        These decanters are pretty well documented, in some of the older glass books (B Haynes and G wills) they are attributed to North East England , Tyneside, however they are now believed to be Bohemian , which I think is mentioned in A Mc C's Decanter book.
cheers ,
