I inherited this item from my grandmother. It's a gorgeous purple decanter with ceramic flowers attached to the front, above a gold delicately paint design. The 6 cups have the gold trim as well. Is this Bohemian? Its extremely lightweight glass - thin.

Looks very nice and of good quality, but I am not sure if it is Bohemian. On the photo rotation, may I ask what camera/device you used to take the photo? I am having similar issues and trying to figure out if it's CW or the particular device used to take the image.
Thank you and enjoy your decanter....
You have to rotate pictures before you put them on here. More pictures may also help.
From the pic my guess would be japan or italy, at least that's where I'd start.
Sorry if I slightly derailed the glass portion of the post, but I tried rotating photos, many times in different orientations before posting before, then did test posts to no avail. Very frustrating because I have glass to share and they keep showing up the same/wrong way. I was using my iPad so thought it may be an Apple thing as I'm new to their products. Again, sorry to JSM7567 for going off subject, although maybe he and I and others who are new and/or recently posting screwed up photos will learn something and therefore become more engaged.
No problem about the rotation comment. My Canon EOS SLR digital camera performs well, and I edit them either horizontal or vertical but it seemed CW had a glitch with my MAC OS or perhaps it just didn't like my upload. I tried it several other times, and it finally showed it vertical as I saved it. Perhaps it's a MAC thing.
I'm new so I am still learning the ropes too!
I updated the pictures. Thanks for your help!
