Well now, iffen I were to guess, I would say that is a "one of a kind" decorator piece made by a glass blower/worker.

But if so, that is not a bad thing because cobalt glass of just about any shape or design is a good "collectible".

it looks to be Pottery? with and applied glass handle.

I agree with D&b that the decanter appears to have a "pottery" look with glass applied pieces.  Can you please specify the composition?

If it is cobalt glass...then it will have a higher desirability for buyers!  Like cogar stated, does appear to be one of a kind.

Randell what you have is Black Amethyst. but also appears to be imported.

ANY VALUE ?

[D&b antiques]

I would start at $50.00 Dollars

Agree with D&b!  Unique and desirable design.

Black Glass - used since the 1700s to make wine and other types of bottles.  Again popular with Depression and Elegant Depression glass manufacturers from the 1920s thru the 1940s.  Black glass is semi opaque/opaque glass and confused with black amethyst and black ruby glass.  One of the easier ways to determine which color  - hold it up to very strong light.  If the glass changes to a deep purple color, it is black amethyst.  It is shows up a deep reddish color, it is black ruby.

ITS DEFINETLY A DARK PURPLE COLOR ITS BLACKISH IN NO LIGHT
