Hey there evryone,
Just bought this decantur today, and I would really like to try and date it. From my own research, I thought it might be between 1845 and 1870. Looks like there is graphite residue on the pontil. I think the pink ring was added after the bottle, It's really neat stopper had a pink decorative piece added to it as well. The stopper's color is much more clear, than the decantur. The decantur is more of a pink or amethyst. There is moisture inside the decantur, I was to excited to wait for it to dry. Any help would be appreciated. I am learning so much with you're help & books, I am feeling more confident in my finding and identifing skills.[] I almost forgot, the circular base, is very uneven, not sure if you can tell from the pic.s.
