Title: Glass decanter needs identification. ID = Nachtmann
Post by: Marykeane on March 30, 2014, 04:53:48 PM

Can anyone help me identify my glass decanter please? I have had this for a few years as a family hand me down and I am very curious as to what it is or where it's from.  It's a reverse N with a crown above. If anyone has any questions or can help, please get in touch.
Thank you, Mary

Welcome to the board :)
we will need clear pictures, one in profile, one of the rim and one of the base, as well as any further pictures that might help with identification.
Also a description of the piece, the size and the weight are also helpful.
Thanks

Hi, unfortunately it won't let me add photos as it says they are too large. Do you have an email address that I could use to send the photos? I have tried to change the resolution of the photos but I can't get down to 125kb which is the max. Help!!?

I would like to see it too. Nachtmann have some great crystal and Decanters are my Weakness 😊. Nachtmann are named as the lifestyle division of Riedel Crystal. Riedel make quality Crystal and their decanters are expensive and some are a very strange shape, google images shows this well enough. 😀

Unfortunately Frank and Pete, I can't get the photographs small enough resolution to display them. If you give me your email addresses, I will send it to you. It's beautiful and immaculate condition. It's just not required and a shame that it isn't appreciated.

Ps- sorry for the delay. I have been working.  Thanks

This is a simple way of doing it and it's all free . Just browse your picture file , click on the pic. you want 
and then make it 50% smaller (this usually works) . You must then file the smaller pic. back to your computer by clicking on the disc  pic (file it)  and the smaller version will be either filed in your 'downloads' folder or your picture folder depending on where you wish to file the smaller image. Hope this helps  :)
