We think this heavy decanter may be a product of the Holmegaard glassworks in Denmark, but we are not 100% sure. The body is cased a deep amethyst over opaque white glass (visible on the end of the stopper in the photo at right), and Holmegaard certainly produced many pieces in the 1960s cased with a colour over white in this manner
| Our reference: | 8456 | Date: | c 1960s |
| Manufacturer: | possibly Holmegaard |
Origin: | possibly Denmark |
| Dimensions: | height 22 cm, weight 1105 gm | ||
| Condition: | very good | ||
