Blue milk glass decanter.
« on: August 31, 2022, 02:19:37 PM »
One of a pair that I own.  In spite of the seller insisting they were '100 years old' I'm more inclined to believe that they are mid-century modern, but I have been wrong - lots of times.  I was leaning towards Empoli.   The stoppers don't have any kind of bung.  A plastic one might have helped date them.  Any ideas who made them and when would be more than welcome. ;)  Thank you.

Occasionally found similar with made in Portugal on the base but as soon as I see this colour I tend to think Portieux.

I thought Portieux too because of the colour but the available online catalogues don't show it. 
I checked out milk glass decanters/bottles made in Portugal, again without success but came across the name Casa Pupo of London who were trendy retailers in Pimlico opening their showroom in 1960 and later becoming Casa Fina in the 1970s.  https://casafinasalisbury.co.uk/casa-fina-through-the-decades/ 
Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll keep searching.  ;)

This one is/was on Ebay, the seller seems to know about it but gives no details.

  Moon and Star pattern. Reproduction of EAPG pattern "PALACE"c. !888. Reproductions  Begin 1930s Production seems to have never ended. Huge amounts made by many companies, in every shape and color you can imagine.

Feel as though I should have recognised the pattern, probably see it all over the place now...

Thank you for all your input and for identifying the Moon and Star pattern which I've included in my search. :)
There are several shown on the web ranging in attribution from L.E. Smith to L.G. Wright.  I'll see if I can check these out.
EAPG and reproductions of such are way out of my comfort zone though.
