    Please help with this decanter? that I found. Looks to be painted on glass and the metal I think is bronze. Need help with translating the seal on the bottom, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. dc1.jpg

    Pewter tea caddy.

    In recent years there have repros of these aplenty. Look very closely at those pictures and see whether they're printed. Often there's a heavy yellow lacquer applied so you can't see the dots clearly.

    They are not prints from what I can see. The film on the glass is glass patina.
