Description
My father left me this item when he died many years ago. I can't seem to find one like it anywhere. As a young man my father traveled all over the world. I would like to know where it comes from and how old it might be. Thank you in advance for any info you might be able to give me.

Re: could anyone tell me about this item?
It looks like a decanter from a late 19th Century Bohemian glass decanter set, which originall would have include matchine wine glasses or tumblers. While they look very impressive, they are actually not rare and often sell at auction for less than $60.00.
Re: could anyone tell me about this item?
Thank you very much. I have no intention of selling it. Just wanted to know where it came from.

Antique Moser Art Glass Decanter Enameled
I am not saying this is Moser, but I would look real close to see if there is any etechings on the glass.
love the color.

Re: could anyone tell me about this item?
look real close to the bottom rim, like a scratch some are real small.. look all over it. Fenton glass sometimes are hard to find...your looking for a name .or number.
