Hello   I was thinking this was a ship's decanter because of the shape but I can't seem to find one with the same bottom shape   It appears to be crystal as I see nice rainbow refraction in both the top and decanter  What throws me off is the bubble  Is the bottom  indentation a pontil mark or done for the look?  I've never seen one like this before   Would anyone know the possible maker, origin, age, and/or style?  Both the top and the bottom are very heavy!  Thank you for any help age

The bubble base has me thinking Holmgaard. Thsi was a popular shape in the 1960-70. I would not call it a ships decanterl.

Hello all Crystal decanter help please

I was a bit confused by the last two pics.  The second to last shows a recessed air space, the last a submerged air bubble trapped in the wall?

 

The elements of this design were originally created by Tapio Wirkkala for iittala / Finland ("Tapio" line).  The design has been copied and **bleep**ized by just about every Eastern European glass maker over the last 40 years.  

 

Best guess Krosno / Poland, but again, even Asian (Chinese / Indonesian) glass factories are doing this stuff.

Take a look at the Krosno decanters, maybe yes, maybe no, but very close.
