The cover is made entirely from single block of wood and bottom of bottle is marked as follows. S6. 0.35l. ©. And wiat i assume may be a date 1911. Any information about this product is greatly appreciated.
Can you please post a clear photo of the bottom of the decanter?
Hello! I have a very similar item and yours is the first I've found that resembles it closely. Mine was received as a gift around 1980. I believe it was purchased in Westchester County, NY, but I'm not sure if it was an original piece or if it was found at an antiques/collectibles store. I am new to this site and will try to post photos. Did you ever find out any additional information? Thanks!
This is an old post, but I'd think it's a G in a circle, maybe for Gulfport Glass Co.-- IF American in manufacture. It could just be a bad C, too, which would correspond with Chattanooga Glass Co. Both companies above used the marks in the last half of the 1900s.
The base exhibits stippling, which is not seen before the 1930s on bottles.
If it holds .35 litres, then it is no older than the 1970s.
They poured and molded a plaster, then textured and painted it.
