An exquisite pair of Bohemian 18th-century glass liqueur decanters. They have their original gilded solid ball ground stoppers. Slice cut gilded necks with flute cut shoulders and Rocco gilded slice cuts bodies. Polished pontils.
A fantastic high-quality pair in superb condition.
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.
