Title: More info about this carafe please?
Post by: Margi on September 30, 2009, 04:27:11 PM

Hi guessing this carafe is french purely because I purchase it here.  As you can see it is rather dirty at the moment and has a lot of gilt rub.  I personally like the patternwork.  It appears etched and then sanded? There is two words on the base but for the likes I cannot read it and also has a number 2.  I personally dont think the stopper is original as it is slightly loose and it looks like it should have matched a cut glass decanter.  Could anyone tell me a little more about it please ie manufacturer and age?  Its not for my cabinet show it will be used for the OH's wine!  I would have got him a new one but he is rather clumsy after a few.

It appears to say MADE IN ***** (I can't read where it is!)  :-[

I'd agree that the stopper probably isn't original.

The shape is very JG Durand... so French is probably spot-on.
