CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP DATE MY BIRD DECANTER?

HI sorry about the caps.

The decanter looks like it has silver plated trim but I am not positive. It is just too shiny inside. The glass has one or two small imperfections. It has had it's pin in the hinge replaced with two screws.

Any idea on when these would have been produced please.

Hi Terri,

1950s to 1970s at a guess. I could be way out. they were popular back to the 1880s. You may also like to search for Claret Jug to see if you can find any matches. The ones with cranberry coloured bodies are very popular, but yours is cute, too.

Thanks OWL

Now I know what to look for it becomes easier. Still none the same but some nice prices on others 🙂

I found a couple in current listing OS. still a good enough price if I can sell it.

similar to christofle, silverplate/ glass,  for the restaurant trade.

I can't find any marks on it to indicate who made it. 😞

are the plated parts aluminium or some white-metal alloy ? i get the feeling it's italian . its quite quirky.

I have no idea Lakeland but the other two I found are listed as silver plated and I am beginning to believe this one is too. I don't know what type of metal silver plating was put on.
