This is a very pretty, relatively small decanter. I have eight (including two glass items) decanters hanging around. No…they are not all full (only two of them are in actual use). I bought this one in the U.S I think. I am guessing that it is of a good age and wouldn’t surprise me to find that it is European. I love the engraving on the stopper. I’ve not seen that before. The problem – when washed, because of the very narrow neck, water dries in the bottle and then leaves marks inside the bottle that are visible when empty. I read somewhere that you should dry your decanters with a hair blower in order to avoid these marks. I tried this, but almost burned my hands! Took too long and didn’t work. I guess I could fill it! I don’t use this one as I don’t want the stopper to become damaged. It is pristine to date. I came across a reference to a book about identifying old British decanters. I may have to order to see if this one shows up. There is something very James Bondish about pouring wine, or brandy, from a decanter.
