Featured English silver mounted glass decanter -1901- who made the glass?

Put a low bid on an Ebay auction and got this for what I'm sure is a great price. The silver top is marked for William Hutton and Sons Ltd. - Birmingham with a year letter for 1901. I've never seen glass quite like this before. The glass is unmarked - assuming it's an English maker - but this is an area i know little about. Idea on the glass? Also - the silver spout is in rough shape - and no stopper. Worth getting the silver repaired? About 8" tall - holds about 1 quart? Maybe slightly less. Thanks for looking!

 

Now that is beautiful!

 

Aint it though?

 

AND images. Gorgeous!

 

who cares......she's beautiful !!!!

 

English ... Beautiful Indeed !!! ... Joy.

 

Stourbridge made and lovely quality. I'd be looking at Webb or Walsh Walsh. If I can unearth my copy of Hajdamach, I'll see if there's anything similar.

 

Really smashing!

 

Oh, and I doubt it had a stopper.

 

Thank you so much OBB!

 

Wonderful piece, Aaron!!

 

Great find. Re the possibility of a stopper, that groove in the top makes me wonder if it might it have had instead, a metal lid which one pushed down on the bit at the back to open? [You can tell I'm technical-term challenged here ].

 

That's a possibility - although I can't think of a term for it either. I think I'd need to find another example of a top like this to know for sure what/if anything went in the top. I appreciate your thoughts!

 

Something like a thumb tab lid?

 

Beautiful piece Arroncab at first I thought it would have a top like ALittleBit & SBSVC mention, but looking at the opening I'm not sure - is there a lip/flat rim around the opening? I'm thinking a stopper if there is
no matter though, it is stunning the way it is and will look even better when you polish the silver, lol

 

Working on the polishing now ...really bad tarnish. I need Nate or Greg to do this for me! There is an indentation/rim...I do think it had something there...

 

Found a number inscribed on the glass inside the top - I'm guessing to indicate the matching stopper...

 

Before reading anything my first thought was Loetz.
I had one of these (Different type glass) the metal was marked "Made in England". So I assumed the glass was as well. Later discovered the glass was Loetz and only the metal was English. Too late, had sold it for too little.


I was going to say that yes it had a lid of some kind. Now that you have found the number, you know it had some sort of stopper.

I think it is a whiskey jug. A claret jug would have a wider base and narrow top.
Opinions only.

 

Stevens Williams glass is a possible English maker.
