    Looks like pressed glass to me, rather than crystal.
    Lets see what others say. :)

    I can’t tell if the glass is stained, flashed or coloured through.

    The color appears to be on the inside.

    I like it too.............Be nice if I knew what it was. Just trying to get more info on it, as it has been in the family for a long time and curious.

    (as for photos, I was having an issue uploading more)....but the more I look at it, the more I like this thing

    Have you checked the bottom carefully for any kind of signature or name?

    @puppypaws I know this doesn't help for an ID, but there is one on eBay right now. Does yours have a square stopper also? I can't tell from your picture.

    I would call it rainbow glass.

    Definitely do, please, post more pictures, bottom included, a good shot of the stopper, etc. And examine the bottom closely for an etched makers mark, that's already suggested above.

    I dont see any markings on the bottom.
    I does seem just like the one on ebay. Looks the same and the size is about the same.
    As I dont know anything about these types of things, I thought it be worth more then 24 dollars. Think I shall use it for a single flower vase :)

    Hm. I’ve had a vintage perfume bottle like that, it was Czech. Those better photos look cut.

    I know this also does not help ID the decanter, but here are some things that turned up in a keyword search for rainbow glass cut crystal. The word Iris Glass also popped up in the searches in conjunction with rainbow glass.

    I tried cut Czech and/or Bohemian rainbow glass as Bear mentioned, so far all I turn up as far as hollow vessels is smooth faceted polished rainbow glass, and tons of beautiful rainbow glass jewelry. Beads and rhinestones and faceted crystals, oh my!
