Technical Description
As most of us know, dating period glass can be notoriously difficult with the vast majority unmarked and many later near copies. 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.
