"It's such a film that it catches the other colors & creates it own unique hue."

Nicely expressed! You should be a writer.

(*warning* off topic) Thanks! I was a writer for a small paper a while back!

Goodness. Apologies!
The two white ones are about 16/17 inches.
The maroon looking one is around 10 inches or so.

Antique Questions Forum / Possibly wine/whiskey decanters (70s)

« on: August 12, 2012, 09:49:54 am »

My mother found these 3 decanter looking bottles at Goodwill not too long ago and she doesn't quite know what they're for.
The research I've done has led me to the proper terms in which to describe them:

Milk glass, crystal footed decanter with crystal stopper. (2 tota.l)
Maroon glass decanter with crystal stopper. (1 total)

I haven't been able to find an identical one to either decanter online, nor have I been able to find decanters with different colored bottoms ("the foot").
I'm suspecting that they're from the 70s, judging from the hue of colors they are, as well as the "clear" film that seems to be coating the stopper. It's such a film that it catches the other colors & creates it own unique hue.

I'll continue to google and read threads about "similar" decanters, but I thought I'd put this out to you good folks to see if any of you could be of any help.

Thanks and happy findings,
AG

Excellent advice. I will certainly do so before posting the picture I have of the items. I must admit, I am a little eager to see what everyone else thinks they are - but I will do a little research in advance. Thanks again!
