Glass / Silver Topped Decanters By John GrinselL & Sons Copper Wheel Engraved made by??
« Last post by LEGSY on Today at 04:59:23 PM »Found a fine pair of silver topped decanters which i initially thought were reasonable quality at first and as such
left them in my bag until i was home when i saw that the tops were silver under the dark mucky grime they also had a
family crest or some form of heraldry on them as well. I was happy & surprized and thank full they had not broke on the way
back home. The engraving is fine and not rough at all possibly copper wheel / intaglio. no other markings i can see yet other
than the silver makers mark for Grinsell a good maker in my eyes on such pieces but not sure who the glass makers might be
any ideas or thoughts are welcome the date letter is sadly not very legible. Chuffed as anything with them not bad at all
slightly over 8" in height overall .

« Last post by chopin-liszt on Today at 02:37:25 PM »I'm a bit confused. 
Are there millifiori white flowers around the bottom? Or is it just a very happy accident that they look like that?
I did not think this design had that level of detail, that it was just a speckled pattern.

There are too many small and fairly regular ones. Biot bubbles are very often elongated, of various sizes and more sparsely distributed.It looks a bit more like either Spanish or Mexican recycled glass to me.

« Last post by NevB on Today at 11:44:34 AM »Possibly by one of the Biot workshops, they make bubble glass. They often use a hollow tube instead of a solid pontil rod and it leaves a distinctive thin ring pontil mark, they also make the base domed. I would guess it was blown into a metal frame to create the shape and then the rim finished by hand, not pressed. A lot of their pieces are marked but not all.
