[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 10265812, member: 6444"]Here is one of mine, picked up at a thrift a few weeks ago. The rest are at our other house. Top is taped on even though we have it out, to avoid the friendly visitor picking it up, “cool bottle”, stopper crashes to floor. Strangely when I found it, the wrong stopper was in it. Went through all the glass in the store until I found a plain later carafe that had the correct stopper for this one. Clearly they had come in together, and carelessly switched. They allowed them to be switched back “oh, yeah, that fits much better”. Based on what I see on eBay, there are a lot of these floating around especially without stoppers. Be aware that the stoppers were custom fitted by grinding, and not a standard size. So it may take some time to find a correct and proper replacement. How tall are yours? Either the pic of your hand is misleading, or they look very small. This one is 10-1/2” or 27cm including stopper, about 4-1/2” in diameter. Does anyone know how size affects desirability, if it does? [ATTACH=full]514478[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
