Technical Description
However, in this case, we have the unique registration mark dating the pair to the 19th Oct 1867 and made by Thomas Webb & Son.
Amphora in shape, they have their original hollow stoppers with a band of thin V cuts. Elegant long necks with a pair of claw handle's attached at the base and a further matching band of thin V cuts. Attached circular feet with large polished pontils showing the registration marks.
The registered design number is 212674 and it was parcel 4 on the 19th Oct 1867. You can also see a rather elegant and stunningly engraved flagon on page 396 of The Decanter, An Illustrated History of Glass from 1650 by Andy McConnell. It is also marked as parcel 4 and the 19th Oct of the same year.
If you love decanters then please buy one of Andy's decanter book...you wont find a better reference guide.
