hi cw...just thought I would share this lovely old amber glass decanter I got last December...I took the pictures right away and then put the decanter away and also forgot about the pictures...I didn't like the indoor quality of my camera so I waited for a clear day to take a few pics outside in the day light...unfortunately most days in December are overcast, raining or snowing where I live and I wasn't too happy with the quality of pics again ...I love the wheel etching of a stag in the forest and on the opposite side there is an etched pheasant flying away...the wheel cutting is quite deep and gives a beautiful 3D effect to the decanter...my guess is it is very old and the decanter has a chip on the stopper and another on the lip of the rim but other than that it is still functional...when I turn the decanter to show the stag side you can't see the chip at all....I am guessing it was probably dropped....it is accented with gold trim...I have been looking for some matching shooter glasses but have not found any....yet....thank you for looking and I welcome and comments or info regarding this wheel etched amber decanter....love this site!
Hi there.....i would say this is Czech/Bohemian Glass. Found something similar here:

Throwing it out there, as a suggestion. Thxs
