Title: Tall Scandi look decanter & glass
Post by: Anne E.B. on January 03, 2009, 02:55:02 PM

Any thoughts on this one would be most appreciated :kissy:  When I first spotted it, I immediately thought Kaj Franck... :huh:

The stopper is hollow, with a small 3mm diam. opening in the base.  There's a polished pontil mark on the base of the bottle with lots of age related wear.  It came with just one glass which matches, and is nicely in proportion to the decanter reaching midway. 

TIA ;)

Whitefriars can be ruled out, which still leaves a whole lot more possibilities :)  It didn't strike me as being Holmegaard.

Polish, I believe. Or thereabouts.

They're very often on eBay in either grey or amber-brown being sold as either Holmegaard, Whitefriars, or Kaj Franck - there's no catalogue evidence for it being the first two, plus the colours are all wrong, and I suspect they're too common in the UK for the the last one.
