<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9496147, member: 10944"]That’s a possibility! I didn’t see any this size searching carafes/decanters but doesn’t mean they didn’t make them. When I searched 18th century gilt glass perfume instead of decanter/carafe I saw a few examples from India. That made me rethink the term perfume a bit. Rather than being a highly concentrated liquid like today it could have been more for a rose water type perfume. That could be an option to explain the size of this bottle. It would be quite large for the modern perfume but maybe not do something used then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
