Message:: [QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 246525, member: 136"]Those square decanters were VERY popular as wedding gifts in the 1970's. I know, because I received FOUR of them, all different. The square ones were often referred to as "whiskey decanters" at that time. (I received several other decanters, as well, that were not square. Decanters & crystal salad bowls seemed to be the 1978 wedding-gifts-of-the-year!) Note that the round, faceted stopper is less common on these square decanters than either a square stopper or a "flattened" disc-shaped one - or even, sometimes, a plain round ball. That said, Gorham, Villeroy & Boch, Galway Crystal & Waterford (and undoubtedly others) all had their versions of the square shape with round, faceted stoppers. As for the glasses, they look almost like juice glasses to me, but I don't drink liquor, so who am I to say? Glencairn calls this The Ultimate Whiskey Glass:[ATTACH=full]75853[/ATTACH] and it's not like anything I have ever used to serve whiskey! Wish I could help to ID your decanter & glasses, but I certainly don't recognize them off the top of my head, and I wasn't able to find them in my search.[/QUOTE]
