2pcs Georgian Pittsburgh Blown Cut Glass MASONIC Decanters 3 Ring Neck w Stopper

  
Site filters from view the posting of sales by U. Sellers containing the names of some of the better and more highly collectible English and German porcelain companies. They come from a prominent local New England family estate collection. They measure roughly 10" tall to the top of the original mushroom stopper - 8 1/2" to the lip - x 4 in diameter at its widest. They have ground polished pontils.

Each decanter has three bands of three applied rings of glass around the neck. The cut decoration I believe is Masonic related. You can find an example of a very similar decanter illustrated in Pittsburgh Glass 1797 - 1891 A History and Guide for Collector by Lowell Innes on page 147, plate 107. I believe that these decanters are American rather than English.

The glass is not mold blown and the rings on the neck are applied. The base is slightly concave and the pontil polished. Other than some residue - lime or mineral - on the inside surface of the base of each decanter which can be professionally removed (there is residue on the side walls), there are no chips, cracks, flakes, hairlines or evidence of grinding. Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail and condition. I always guarantee everything that I sell to be as described.
