Swirled Red Amethyst Pontiled Decanter

[cowseatmaize]

My purchase was a dubious one though

????

Nice job noticing the lack of ground throat, but are you saying that bottles with stoppers but no ground throat/stopper means they either didn't hold liquid or are fantasy bottles?

No, not at all with true early glass.

Thanks again, time for a refund.

Why? You bought it not knowing and the seller was maybe in the same boat. I didn't see the list but unless they said that it's absolutely 200 years old or such, I don't know why it would be returnable.
