I bought the two pictured decanter sets from a small antique shop in Burnet, Tx. The owner there told us that they had been sold to her by a serviceman who had been stationed in Persia which is now Iran. There are no markings what-so-ever anywhere on these but they appear to be a set. Has anyone seen anything like these or know of somewhere I can find out if they're worth anything?

Can you take a couple of close up pics with the decanter and one glass showing !! Top is cut off in the first pic and with the glasses in front can`t see much of the decanter itself !! Only need one glass since they are all the same !! Also a pic of the bottom of each decanter if possible !!

Hope these will work. A close-up of each decanter with 1 glass and the bottom of each.

i,m a bit perplexed....Persia/Iran..is a strict Muslim country....why would they need a liquor decanter...they only drink tea,....
-
I wondered the same thing !! And all the decanters I looked at were not glass but were enameled brass !! These show little decoration and are nothing like the ones I looked at !! Of course they could be more modern sets intended just for sale !! Are not hand blown that I could tell !!

those little tumblers..are not for liquor...they are tea glasses,
-
Maybe they were both for tea? Regarding Iran and liquor here's an interesting link that someone sent me awhile back:

hypocrisy reigns supreme...... :D

From the style of yours I would guess they were made 1960 or 70`s !! Its not typical of most older sets !! And if you are selling it here in the states and because it doesn`t have the ornamentation that is typical of the area I would think it would bring about the same as any other from that time period !! A nice set would make $ 60. to $100. !!

Thanks Mart, though I don't plan on selling these it's nice to know what they may be worth.
