A set of four 'Newcastle Bell' Shape Pillar Moulded Glass decanters.
The decanter body is a bell shape and moulded with heavy pillars, the style being reflected in the stopper. The pontil is ground and polished out to the base, and the stopper has the same treatment (to the top), this is unusual for decanters and a quirk of these ‘Newcastle’ designs. It is made in lead glass and is quite heavy.
English late 19th century
