Antique Irish Glass - Shamrock or Not Stopper
This video is to correct a short video where I said a the shape of a stopper from an Irish decanter resembled a shamrock when it really resembles a four leaf clover. This is important because it's Irish glass and I am interested in the symbolism the stopper represents.
The book I use in this video is:

    It probably only saves a couple drips of the wine, but it saves you from those drips becoming sticky rings on your table. I wish this was a common feature in modern jugs, I always have to dab the jug spout with a napkin to keep that from happening with normal jugs

    I’d have thought spirits were less likely to leach the lead from the glass , as their generally less acid than wines, that’s just my opinion , do you have more advice on this, as I do use mine for whiskey, but like you I’m an occasional drinker , so it’s in the decanter for a long period

    • @lovedecanters7891
      @lovedecanters7891 3 дні тому

      I see so much stuff about lead leaching out, but also that it's not a problem. I can't imagine it's a massive problem, because my decanters haven't dissolved after a couple of hundred years. I don't know conclusively, so am not comfortable making a recommendation.

    I can answer your mystery pressed glass bowl at 1.30. It's Walther glass. For the Murano bowl at 9 minutes, have you looked in the Jordan Imports (JICo) catalogues? I think you might find it in those. Several factories are believed to have made glass to JICo’s own designs including Cristallo Venezia CCC

Thick enough Ice which melts at the same rate the candle burns, at the end of it there's just a puddle and nothing else.

      I couldn't get it to come out in the film, but there is a ghost of the word Brandy on the decanter. This type of decanter came in sets on a stand, and normally labelled Brandy, Hollands, and Rum. Very occasionally one might be Whiskey.

    Couple of other contenders for the gilt jug around 12 minutes are Borske Sklo and Borocrystal. Adverts for these type of drinks sets can be found for both these companies in 1960s Czech Glasrevue magazines showing a wide range of shapes. Chlum u Trebone are another factory who produced gilt wares but I think they're a less likely source. Some of these also came from Romania but I think this was a Borocrystal example based on the shape of the tumblers

      I have several with that top ( Pillar) cut ? You said ? Yes very similar, my problem often is makers marks particularly pre 1890. Some old pieces one may have so many unique identifying marks were used. But it’s awesome learning about a piece one may have. Even if it’s a flop. It’s something you have learnt and a story about the manufacturer. I have a wrist band or bracelet . It’s ( apparently) ?? Roman glass , there is 15 pieces each surrounded in 18kt ( Green) Gold. The glass are from broken items made of glass 2’500 years in the past. But apparently it’s real and they were made in Victorian times and previous by adventurers of many in history to ruins of an ancient cities. So fascinating Civilisations coming and going..??. Cool cheers as always.👍👍🇦🇺
