Found a fine pair of silver topped decanters which i initially thought were reasonable quality at first and as such
left them in my bag until i was home when i saw that the tops were silver under the dark mucky grime they also had a
family crest or some form of heraldry on them as well. I was happy & surprized and thank full they had not broke on the way
back home. The engraving is fine and not rough at all possibly copper wheel / intaglio. no other markings i can see yet other
than the silver makers mark for Grinsell a good maker in my eyes on such pieces but not sure who the glass makers might be
any ideas or thoughts are welcome the date letter is sadly not very legible. Chuffed as anything with them not bad at all :) :)

slightly over 8" in height overall .
