One of my favourite recent finds and i think has some real age, looks a nice lead blue colour, no seeds, dirt in the fold and creases and wear on the tips of the straps on the base with a rough pontil.
No evidence of having a stopper, ie no circular marks or wear on the inner neck so maybe cork? or a water carafe.
8 1/2 inches in height and 5 inches roughly in width.
Any thoughts would be welcome, regards Chris.

Hi ,
Several of these are recorded in the Rijksmuseum catalogue volume 2 ,1 with identical engraving to yours , all are dated c 1850/75,
Quote, " In the second half of the 19th c several glassworks including Leerdam started producing carafes based on 17th c originals " end quote.
The originals don't have this type of engraving and are very thinly blown and very light ,very much in keeping with other 17th c vessels,
cheers ,
Peter.
