Title: Help identifying decanter
Post by: In2harmony on August 06, 2012, 07:51:57 PM

I've recently acquired this decanter and would be grateful if anyone can help identify the style or better still a maker and age. It stands about 12.5 inches tall including the stopper. There is a pontil mark which has not been polished. Thanks in advance.

Do you mean there is a sharp pontil mark? I think we need a picture of the base please.

Many thanks for taking the time to look at this. I've added some more photos - hope it helps.

I don't think that's a pontil mark at all. It looks machine blown and the stopper is also moulded. I would say mid-20th, but I know little about decanters.

Thanks - that's helpful in itself.
