The beautiful 10" tall Tuilleries Villandry by Cristal D'Arques lead crystal decanter & stopper has no flaws. This pattern was discontinued in 1997. It sells on Replacements.com for $60. It is 24% lead crystal and is safe as long as liquor does not remain in it for extended periods. Elegant for serving.
The Princess House decanter, 24% Lead Crystal, Pattern 776, frosted ovals, in excellent condition, is 15-3/8" tall. It sells for $99.95 on replacements.com.
The square 9 inch tall Opera by Royal Crystal Rock decanter was discontinued in 2009. It sells for $49.99 on replacements.com, although with the original square stopper. I acquired this decanter without a stopper but added the round one here as I think the criss-cross pattern matches.
The 10 inch tall carafe has been in my family for at least 40 years. It has no identifying marks on it. The top edge has 2 chips as I show. There are also a few air bubbles within, so it may have been at least partially hand blown. I could not find it elsewhere and replacements.com couldn't identify it for me, although lately all they reply with is "we don't know."
The two 13 inch tall hand crafted ceramic robin carafes commemorated the 100-month old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that it once held. No chips or cracks. Beautiful and elegant display bottles designed by J. Beam for Regal China.
The cork on the 1st shown is still there but truncated and not super snug.
The cork on the 2nd is still intact and very snug. It has the label draped around the neck still.
There are differences between the 2 in the attached labels as shown.
The 8 inch tall heavy glass bottle has artwork of acclaimed wildlife artist Jerry Raedeke on all four sides. The stopper looks like it's hand blown due to some small bubbles and what looks like sand spec imperfections inside the thick glass. The stopper has clear and milky sections. The stopper stem was encased in cork, which it is now detached from and stuck inside the gold-rimmed neck. I did not attempt to remove the cork from the bottle or small bits from the stopper stem. It still provides a good seal on the bottle as is.
The 2 liter amber glass beer growler was produced for the now closed Blue Frog Grog & Grill of Fairfield, California by Muster Geschützt of Germany. It stands 13.5" tall, weighs 4lbs, 2oz and has a very sturdy ornate handle. There is a line indicating 2 liters above the top metal band. I am the original owner of this bottle and had it filled only a few times. I bought it because it is so striking, and I loved the Blue Frog restaurant. The Blue Frog closed in 2013.
Haig & Haig Pinch Scots glass whiskey bottle has 3 concave sides. It has the original cap, is 8" tall and measures 5" across the widest part of bottle.
The 1970 Old Fitzgerald Blarney Bottle is 10" tall, including the topper. The topper fell and broke. I used a small amount of super glue, just enough to keep it together. When I lived in a large city, I could find a service that repaired porcelain so that you couldn't tell it was ever broken but can't find that anywhere here in Montana where I live. If this is displayed behind glass, it would not be noticeable. The bottle design was taken from the Old Fitzgerald Collector's Gallery of the Stitzel Weller Distillery, where the brandy was distilled, aged, and bottled. There is no indication where the bottle was made. On the side where the castle is displayed, a sticker, which can be removed, on the lower end displays "Old Fitzgerald Blarney Bottle." On the side with "An Old Gaelic Blessing" is the Old Fitzgerald Blarney Bottle...." sticker, which also can be removed to show the complete blessing. A part of the original cork is loose within the bottle, I left it because I don't know the trick on how to remove it without breaking it up.
The 10.25 inch rare Paul Masson Brandy porcelain bottle also has a broken topper, see above. It's very beautiful, with shiny gold accents. Vitis is a genus of 81 accepted species of vining plants, important for grapes.
I set shipping to accommodate the heaviest pieces. I'll refund any shipping overages.
