Estate English Betjemann's Tantalus Decanter Set 3 Cut Crystal Decanters. Handsome estate old or antique British Betjemann's tantalus. Three cut glass matching decanters with stoppers, contained in a wood and metal tantalus tray, , stamped on the side of the locking mechanism on both sides. I think the underlying metal is likely brass, possibly plated in nickel. The current color of the metal resembles the color of pewter.

There is no key, but it is unlocked so the top portion can be released to rotate back to open the tantalus to removed the decanters. Since this item is outside my areas of expertise, I going to let the pictures do the talking so please scan down to view them as they are a material part of the description. SIZE: Tantalus is about 13 7/8" wide, 11 1/4" tall and 5 1/8 deep. The decanters are about 3 1/4" by 3 1/4" and approximately 8 1/2 to the top of the stopper. MARKS: On base impressed 6922.

On frame/mechanism one side Betjemann's Patent 66213 London; the other side The Tantalus. Decanter are old bohemian/marked with acid-stamps "Made in Czecho-Slovakia". The mark is usually seen on Czech glass made between the wars c. Exact age unknown but it definitely has significant age to it, but not certain if vintage or antique (over 100 years old). There is one area on the wood base that has a very old loss which has been smoothly out over the years.

The decanters have some chips (worst shown in photos) and there are also chips on the stopper bottoms. Notwithstanding, the decanters present beautifully. No key, but currently unlocked. One bottle may have very very faint discoloration at from liquor storage. I tried to make them look as bad as possible in the photos.
