I have been finding more things I had packed up and in storage since I lost my home. This is a very pretty bottle that I don't know slot about but It had a good shape to it and nice cuts and the very pretty matching stopper. I don't know exactly how old it is but I've had it for at least 16 years.

It's finally drying out. I've had it slightly upside down. I will take a new pic when it dries.
Thank you for your help!!
Hi there. Amy got me interested and I think you could say it's 'Victorian', the stopper looks like it reflects the 'mallet shape' of the decanter as well.
Thank you, that is smarter.
Mallet shape? Have a look at the shape of an old stonemason's hammer and you'll see where the term comes from. Google "Stonemason's mallets" and tap 'images' and you'll see some.
Oh wow, Definitely the shape, Thank you!!
Most beautiful! Love it.
Lovely older bottle; sorry, I don't have any info/guess on this; but very nice!
