Topic: An Early English Comical??? Decanter Any Ideas ???

[LEGSY]

 
I have owned this decanter for some time but been unable to find a similar version
in this ones slumped manner look's like it's had a few too many which is exactly what i
am considering due to this lock-down The decanter 's form is not an uncommon form
but i wonder if this may have been a gift from a Glass worker a frigger or such i am really
taken with it and wondered if anybody had any ideas as to why it would have been made
in this way?? It has a blue stopper also which is decent fit but would think is a replacement
and judging by wear it seem's to be a 19th century version and not a modern replica!!!
Like Jacob Bangs designs Nearly forgotten it is a smaller version pint capacity maybe..
Unusual little thing

  It reminds me a bit of the flattened and squashed Bell's whisky bottle ash trays produced, I think, by Pirelli in association with the Ysarts.
Folk have been playing with recycled bottles for loads of different purposes, more recently.
