Colorless, pressed glass decanter, in a female mold, probably of two vertical sections in the form of a cylinder bearing the Reeded pattern with a plain section above; with a plain base plate that formed the base; plain upper section reheated and tooled to form the neck and heavy flange lip, polished pontil mark; interior of neck ground to receive a stopper. The solid stopper; pressed upright in a female mold of two vertical sections bearing the Reeded pattern with a plain cylindrical top that was closed by tooling. The top of stopper is cut and polished; lower end rough ground to fit the neck of the decanter. In data image, this decanter is on the far left hand side.
