Information Gathered
Stamped/Molded Bottle – If the bottle has “Dimple” or “Pinch” stamped or molded into the glass of the bottle than it was bottled before 1954.
Chinese Export Silver caged decanters using a four-compartment bottle became quite common in the early 20th century. <- this was the birth of the idea. I do not believe this is a Chinese version. The tri-corn shape and the dimple on each side made it incredibly strong. It took a lot of ingenuity, probably helped by the Chinese love of a drink, for the silversmiths to realize the bottle could withstand the intense heat of making a silver cage to replace the original wire mesh, while the stopper became a rather grand silver affair.
