About the Item

20th century Edinburgh & Leith cut crystal decanter / bottle, square body with clipped corners, cut with an intricate cross hatched pattern and faceted orb stopper. "The Edinburgh and Leith Flint Glass Company was established sometime around the 1920's. Although the founding date of the company is unknown, records indicate the company was operating under the name Edinburgh and Leith Glass Co., as early as 1829. Alexander Dixson Jenkinson took over the business upon the death of his father in 1880. Alexander Jenkinson died in 1909 and the business was inherited by Stanley Noel Jenkinson. 1921 saw Thomas Webb and Sons Limited of Stourbridge, West Midlands, buy Edinburgh Crystal which continued to trade under its own name. 1955 brought a name change from the Edinburgh and Leith Flint Glass Company to The Edinburgh Crystal Glass Company. Further corporate activity took place in 1964 when Crown House Limited acquired The Edinburgh Crystal Glass Company and Thomas Webb and Sons. During 1969, there was a move to a site of over 7 acres (28,000 m2) in Penicuik, Midlothian some 10 miles (16 km) from Edinburgh. Then in 1971 Edinburgh Crystal and Thomas Webb merged with Dema Glass, another Crown House subsidiary. Thomas Webb and Sons and The Edinburgh Crystal Glass Company traded well resulting in 1987 in being incorporated into the Coloroll Group. After Coloroll went bankrupt, Caledonia Investments, with the support of senior managers, led a buy-out of the Edinburgh Crystal Glass Company and the Thomas Webb and Sons brand in 1990. The new company moved all manufacturing and distribution to its site in Penicuik. In April 2004, Edinburgh Crystal bought Caithness Glass from the receivers Deloitte. Caithness Glass are notable for paperweights. On 26 July 2006 the Edinburgh Crystal Glass Company Ltd went into administration, followed by its two subsidiaries, the Caithness Glass Company Ltd and Selkirk Glass Ltd, in August. The Caithness Glass arm of the business was purchased by Dartington Crystal and is still manufacturing paperweights in Scotland. In 2007 Waterford Wedgwood bought the Edinburgh Crystal company. Edinburgh Crystal continued as a brand name only with all manufacturing moved to Europe. Then, in January 2009, Waterford Wedgwood went into administration and were bought by KPS Capital Partners. At this time the brand was discontinued." (Source: Wikipedia) Dimensions: 3.5" x 3.5" x 9.5" (Width x Depth x Height)

By Atlantis Cristasia de Alcobaca
Located in Dayton, OH
Late 20th century set of Atlantis cut crystal whiskey decanter and eight glasses. Square decanter with faceted orb stopper and eight old fashioned / lowball glasses. Marked on base. "The first crystal pieces from the prestigious firm Atlantis were made in the town of Alcobaça, Portugal, in 1972. At the time, the factory was known as Crisal (Alcobaça Crystals) and devoted its production to old Portuguese lead crystal. Founded in 1944 by Fernando Magalhaes, Alcobaça Crystals manufactured chandeliers, sconces, glass for domestic use and other beautiful pieces. Later, in the early 1970s, it began to produce high-quality handmade glass with the help of molds and blow rods, following the old practices of knowledgeable and experienced craftsmen. Atlantis is known for its tight quality control. With perfection as their emblem, thousands of pieces are discarded, many with flaws so imperceptible to the human eye that can only be detected by trained experts.
