[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 211246, member: 85"]Neither bottle has the correct stopper. #1 - The stopper is blown with an air trap bubble. Like the bottle you showed in your first thread. The stopper should fit down into the neck of the bottle. The bottle itself is heavy as compared to the light stopper. #2 - The color of glass in the stopper is different than the bottle. The stopper should fit down into the neck of the bottle. The bottles themselves are probably mid to late 1800s. But not the stoppers. Many of this style decanter are from England or Ireland. Here are what decanters of that period should look like.
