Technical Description A very rare 18th-century Bohemian glass liqueur funnel dating to c1780. A gilded rim with slice cuts leading down and narrowing to the spout.The funnel would have been used to help fill smaller decanters and bottles for ports and liqueurs rather than wines. Small examples like this are far rarer than their larger wine funnel cousins and a gilded Bohemian example even more so. We are not aware of any other example being offered online. A fantastic high-quality example in superb condition and we have included a picture of it next to a liqueur decanter of similar age and origin.You can see examples of the types of liqueur decanters used with this funnel on pages 162-164 of ''The Decanter An Illustrated History of Glass from 1650'' by Andy McConnell. Personally, I think his two books are by far the best ever written on the subject, not just of decanters, but in many ways, glass in general. Date & Origin Bohemia, c1780.ConditionExcellent...
