Hi, i recently gained through a living inheritance a pair of beautiful crystal decanters. On the neck of each decanter is an identity necklace. Both have the same hallmark on the back. I have researched online to find out what information the hallmark can give me but am struggling! Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

That's a plater's mark used by John Gilbert of Birmingham.
