4 Here is a group of bottles or decanters in my collection. Most are Bohemian( Czech) however there is one American/German made bottle from Amelungs glass works in Frederick Maryland with a date stamped on it of 1792. It is the tallest one second from the left rear row. Also in the picture is a very early German flask the first one on the bottom left with the lolly pop shaped stopper. There is a lady wearing a sophisticated evening gown or dress on each side. All of the Bohemian decanters have gold gilding on them.
