Kia ora, Squizoid.  This is certainly a NZ decanter, made by Murray Hill during his year at Tony Kuepfer's Inglewood studio in 1986 (and a bit of 1987).  There's a bit about Tony on my blog http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/ (http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.nz/), but I realise to my surprise that I have not blogged Murray - I must remedy that.  I have about a dozen pieces of Murray's, decanters, vases, paperweights and a good try at one of Tony's tall bottle shapes.

Thanks, Tony, I think another one would be being greedy - I am beginning to discover that maybe you can have too much of a good thing. ;)  But I'll watch it with interest on TradeMethink
