This is a mouth-blown Edwardian, etched ovoid-shaped decanter, probably dating from the beginning of the 20th century, c1910.
The decanter is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows the age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with some 100 years of use.
The decanter has a short plain neck and is round in cross-section. The decanter is decorated with bands of etched scrollwork, possibly by a pantograph. The base is plain and carries a polished out pontil mark and measures10.3 cm (4.1 inches) in diameter. The decanter measures 17 cm (6.8 inches) in height without the stopper and 20.5 cm (8.2 inches) with the stopper inserted.
The stopper is of radially-cut mushroom form, of similar metal and is possibly the original. It is an excellent fit, is of the right period and metal, and looks the part.
There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any other obvious evidence of restoration.
It weighs in at 945 g. (~ 2 lb. 1 oz.).
