Exhibit Antiques has dated this piece to the 1800s.
An exquisite 18th-century Bohemian glass liqueur decanter. The neck, shoulders and body has been slice cut and decorated with Rocco style gilded rural scenes. It has its original gilded solid ball ground stopper. Polished pontils.
A fantastic high-quality example 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.
