An urn shaped decanter in grey and amber. It is 12.5 inches high.
I bought this off eBay last year. It is better in real life than it was on eBay or these pictures. It is really light a delicate, and as a decanter it can hold about one large glass of wine. In the 1770s there was a short period when urn shaped decanters were in fashion for liquers and maybe it is intended for that. It is a well made quality item.
Any assistance in identifying this beauty would be greatly appreciated.

It does remind me a lot of some Orrefors decanter from the mid 20s, although I cannot tell if this is made or not by Orrefors. Great shape!
