Today at the Flea Market, after purchasing the Danish Smiling Rider on Donkey Figurine, from yesterday, at a price that the seller and I agreed on, I started my search for new treasures. I found a few things, but it was a slow day(sometimes a good thing :^D), after a couple of hours of walking from one side to the other a few times, I was about ready to head home, when I came across these two Bird Decanters. I knew that the Glass was Murano, and that the Duck was Alabastro, by Archimede Seguso, but the designs I had never seen as the top of a Decanter, for Girolamo Luxardo Cherry Ardo, an Italian Cherry Wine. After searching, I found that this had been made in the late 1960's, but I don't know the age for sure. I was very lucky to get both the Decanters, one full, and the other empty, for a very good price! :^D
The Murano Glass Birds, are both removeable, by unscrewing them from a screw in the top of the Decanter. The Duck and Decanter are 14 1/4" tall, and the stylized Pheasant, and Decanter are a total of 16" tall, the Decanters are 5" tall, and 6" across the ground and polished pontil base!
Thank you for looking, all comments are welcome! :^)

inconclusive because its luxardo
Hey Bill, I just came across an unopened bottle of Girolamo Luxardo Cherry Ardo. It is in the green duck bottle. I was wondering what it is worth? Any help you could provide would be much appreciated!
If I knew Duhe, I couldn't tell You here on CW, that's what Barnebys' wants to do for You for a fee! :^D, Bill :^)
Well Barneby,s is big in the SE excellent platform , asked the fee first , because they
still have to integrate for the sampling
so you to asked for the sample sizing , for discusion sake lets, you got an uccello opalino albastra latimo versione limitata , what, is the significance when you got small sampling, but it is probably an non limitata 69
