Title: Rock crystal style small decanter
Post by: glasseyed on August 28, 2010, 06:34:51 PM

Hi All

I am looking for possible makers of this lovely (half size) rock crystal style decanter.

http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/EnglishPorcelain/20100828Glass?feat=directlink

I'm afraid I have failed miserably to do it justice with my photographs but it really is a quality piece as you can see from the stopper.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hazel  :huh:

I dont recognise the decanter but the stopper looks very similar to one i have on a Stevens&Williams rock crystal decanter i have .

i would agree - Stevens & Williams would be my choice as well - about 1910/15 ?!
nice piece anyway !!

Thank you for the replies, I had to buy a very heavy box full of decanters just to get the small delicate one I wanted  :phew:

It is a shame that there is not a reference book that covers Stevens and Williams in detail - so many fine items seem to come from there.
