Hello,
I am hoping someone may be able to help me determine if this is an old vs new jadeite decanter/bottle. It has a rubber plug on the end of the stopper; smells like
old rubber. There is no mark on the bottom that I can discern. Thank you so much!!

This definitely looks like a reproduction. There is a lot of it out there now. I've never seen a decanter in the real Jadeite Glassware.

It’s jadeite, no question. The chances of you finding the maker are slim to none. If you plan to list it, it will sell. I think reproduction would be wrong, because...reproduction of what?
I would just avoid calling it vintage. I have a vast collection of vintage, and modern, jadeite, and I have never seen this bottle. Any glass manufacturer can produce jadeite. Pioneer Woman is even producing a line, though she doesn’t call it Jadeite.
Also, Hobby Lobby has a line of their own.
Jadeite sells.

Screw stopper material looks old with deterioration .. so 1930's? Maybe 20?
