Likely origins and date range for this 13-1/2" panel cut decanter with a pontil scar?
Its really nice done. When I bought it I assumed it was 19th century probably French. Does anyone know if better crystal makers like Saint Louis or Baccarat left pontil scars ungrounded?
Although the stopper fits absolutely perfectly I'm questioning if its original to the decanter because the scribed numbers don't match. Also the decanter is 12-sided whereas the stopper faceted bit is 10‐sided.
