Title: Golden amber wrythen decanter with leaf stopper
Post by: chriscooper on November 23, 2010, 02:58:17 PM

Any thoughts on a possible make, quite delicate, some signs of wear on the base which has a ground out and polished pontil mark, the stopper shows signs of use so I don't think it was made yesterday.
Checked out Powell/Whitefriars (in hope) that it could be  :sun: cannot really find anything that matches this wrythen style.
Thanks for looking.
Chris
