<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 10267705, member: 79460"]Hi there. Thanks for this. Interesting read. Not sure you can judge a piece's age on wear alone however. Different items have different journeys. Some decanters are left on hard surfaces, others on fabric. Some may be mothballed in a box in an attic for 150 years. I can't argue either way regarding this and I respect your experience and knowledge. Glass is a difficult field to master as there are so many subtle nuances. I usually give it a wide berth because of this. It's interesting to absorb information like this though. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here's an interesting one; The stopper didn't fit very well when I bought it on Saturday. It fits perfectly now! Temperature fluctuation maybe. I accept it's not an original one though as I've seen a fair few with the correct stopper online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
