Bought this little set at a local auction, not because I wanted a decanter and glasses, but just because I like the spotty look of it! I think it would have been a 'Woolworths' sort of buy in its time, certainly a bargain buy. Would this small decanter have been used for sherry? Any ideas! I think it is possibly Bohemian but not 100% sure! Perhaps czechman could put me straight on that one! Thank you so much!

Thank you AmberRose, bratjdd, mustangtony, miKKoChristmas11 and of course Dear Bellin68!!
Very retro...:-)
The gold rings around the foot make me think Roemer, so Germany/Bohemia is probable. If you type "roemer glass" into google and look at images you will see what I mean.
Thank you for the Love - lovedecanters and for your advice, will be doing that now!!: )
Also thank you inky for the comment and the Love!
