Stunning and perhaps UNIQUE large, globe shaped COLOGNE DECANTER by either Stevens & Williams or perhaps Dorflinger. Engravers from England, notably Walter Graham, came to work for Dorflinger at about the time this piece was made. It differs from very similar designs by Stevens & Williams in that it is ENTIRELY GEOMETRIC as opposed to the engraved botanical and geometric pieces known to be Stevens & Williams see The Glass of Gorham , p.

GPB-3, for examples, all of which have the exact same lower half cutting as this cologne: swirled crescents, a chain of double quarter cut, overlapping diamonds, finely rayed, radiant star centers. Large cologne is in excellent condition and has its cut-in-pattern original stopper. 6" tall, 4 1/2" across at the center. There is a 16 point cut-to-clear radiant star atop the stopper.

It is quite interesting that the plug of the stopper is cut-to-clear, yet the circular base retains the green thereby creating a fascinating green'glow' that washes over the clear plug. The plug was almost certainly cut entirely to clear so that the intricate cutting discussed in the next paragraph would be perfectly visible with the stopper in place. The fluted neck of the cologne is partitioned into three sections by the cut-to-clear green us.

Ing parallel lines with stretched diamonds at the vertices. Quite lovely and, one would imagine, quite difficult to execute within the steep, tight area of the neck. Below the neck, a band of emerald green sits atop a pair of circular miters from which depends a sweeping band of tightly cut blaze, also known as fringe. The globe body is completely girdled by deeply cut, comet-style, alternating high/low crescents cut-to-clear in two slightly different heights; each crescent is separately mitered in sweeping arcs which leaves each of them very thinly outlined in green. An elaborate base is cut in Stevens & Williams circular, signature chain of double quarter cut stars in kite shaped fields, surrounding a finely executed 48 point radiant star.

It's a rare beauty, to be sure. This is the first purely geometric example of Stevens & Williams I've encountered where the upper portion of the pattern is NOT engraved with botanicals.
