Title: heavy cut glass decanter some help with id please
Post by: ditzen pieces on March 11, 2009, 07:48:08 AM

Hi Everyone
this piece is so confusing is it moulded or cut it appears to be aged but not a lot of wear to the base it has concave pontil. air bubbles in the glass and the stopper is very solid. it measures 17 cms tall without stopper and the flat top of the decanter is thick and flat 7 cms diameter. any ideas please
cheers lynne

That one is almost certainly pressed. I haven't got a clue by whom, though - I'd suspect RCR of Italy - but I could be off by a few thousand miles.

Try looking down the vertical corners. Definitely pressed
