The shape of this lovely decanter is called a Cluck Cluck. They are Danish in origin and were made by several now long gone makers. They are still made by Holmegaarde.
I can't help to pin yours, with the engraving, down more than that, but other folk here might know a lot more than I do.

This one has a Dutch attribution, it has a similar engraved bird and a windmill so that may be correct.

It could be a Danish windmill?
The stopper on your decanter looks to sit quit low in the deck so probably isn’t original. There are a few of these with similar engraving online, and many of them have a crown type stopper, see the three examples below. I suspect the stoppers on those are the correct type.

The Decanter by Andy McConnell page 211 has two Prussian decanters with crown type stoppers similar to those in my links above. The stoppers aren’t quite the same but are flat underneath. They are both dated 1860, one probably Denmark, one Sweden. The Swedish bottle and stopper looks like this:
