Featured Glass Decanters, anything special?

I have this set of decanters and one tall single. Just want to make sure there’s nothing more valuable than an average vintage cut glass decanter here before I let them go? The tall one appears unmarked. The short ones have a number sloppily etched into the base and stopper. Looks like 38 and 39 respectively. I guess just to match the stopper to the right bottle? While nice I’m not seeing anything that puts them above average. Am I missing anything?

 

The tall one is very elegant.
Life expectancy around a day in our house!

 

I had someone coming to pick up an item I had for sale last week. Of course as they were on the way I couldn’t find it. Was tearing the house apart. In process had moved a large painting with a heavy frame and some vases. Looking for item for sale I moved a box forgetting the painting was now leaning against that box. Conveniently it fell, knocked over and broke a vase. Luckily it didn’t go through the canvas just the frame hit it. However the vase was worth more literally and sentimentally than the $ I was getting for the item I was selling. Ughhhh. Long story long I’m surprised the tall one has made it this far in my place too.

 

the tall one is neat !
the others look like a tantalus set..

 

You should try living with Siamese cats.

 

Not my sweetie pies. All that destruction is purely accidental.

 

Tantalus decanters are usually square or ocasionally oblong. And tend to have fancy bottoms and plainer tops. Those look like fairly standard Edwardian ones, which isn't to denigrate them. Numbers are to match stoppers, yes.

 

usually......but not always...



they could just be from a matching bar set...???

 

That second one is hilarious.
Edit: this is one I sent to a friend a while back.

 

It just occurred to me that I bought two sterling liquor tags the other day. Maybe I’ll stick them on the short ones if I don’t get a good price and see if they sell better that way.

 

that's what the tags are made for !

 

I thought they were made for me to stick in a box and look at once a year or so.

 

I only look at mine every two years......or so...
I may have even sold some.....sometime ago...or then..or whenever....

 

I’d love to share that on Facebook but I can’t as I work for a school.
Brilliant.

 

Also known as bottle tickets.

 

Ahahaha. Touché!

 

Definitely not school appropriate. Surely exactly what some cats are thinking though.

 

*ALL* cats think like that. It's part of their ineffableness.

 

I had to look that up. Great word for cats
