It is Rendered in Very Early English Arts and Crafts Style. The Crystal Work is Completely Hand Made - Hand Blown and Constructed with 5 Separate Pieces that Would Have been Fused Together When All of the Pieces were Still in The Molten State ( Red Hot ). The Sterling Silver Mounts are Completely Hand Made as well. It has a Very Unique "Gravity" Style Hinged Stopper Design that Works as follows. When you Tip the Bottle to Pour the Hinged Round Ball Swing Out of the way Allowing the Liquid to Pour Freely and When you Place it Back in Upright Position they Drop Back Into Place Covering the Spout Holes. It has an Assortment of Town of Birmingham England Hallmarks that Include the Documented J.T.H - J.H.M. Maker Mark of Heath & Middleton - A Lion Passant Sterling Mark - a 1907 "h" Date Letter and the Birmingham Town Anchor Mark. It also is Embossed with a English Registry Mark. It is in Very Nice Condition with No Damage - No Repairs. Note that it has Some Brown Stains - Rings in the Mid Section Where the Different Pieces of Glass are Fused Together. I have Looked It Over Well and I Can Say with Confidence that These Occurred In The Making Process - Absolutely Not Damage and that They Would Not Be Seen When Bottles are Filled With Oil & Vinegar. ( See Photographs ). The Silver is Lightly Tarnished.
It Measures Approx. 5 3/8 inches Tall x 4 1/2 Long x 2 5/8 inches Wide at Base. Oil
