Uranium green decanter, probably 1860s, as this colour was popular then and the cutting has a gothic look to it. They call it uranium green as they use mineral uranium to make this colour. Panel cut neck and shoulders, printies to the body.

A printy is: a decorative pattern on cut glass, consisting of a shallow concavity, circular or oval, made with a slightly convex cutting wheel. Punty is usually applied to polished pontils, to my knowledge. A prunt is an applied decorative blob of glass, but I haven't heard of prunty. It's all glass geek stuff. LOL.
