Decanter
Hi All
My nan recently passed away and I have been left with 2 decanters. They are lovely to look at and she always told me they were really old. I just wondered if anyone could shed some light on them; date? value? or anything? I think they are glass as they don't ring when you flick them, but I am far from an expert.
I have added two photos if you need more please do let me know. The bottom has a star like shape engraved.

Are these a matching pair?
Before one can tell anything about these it is important to clarify:
- Are these cut or pressed? Perhaps a photo of the base will help. I get the sense they are cut but am not entirely sure from the two photos.
- Are they crystal?
I get the sense that these could be ~50 year old decanters - just an educated guess.

Note this decanter has a similar pattern and (importantly) is marked on the base
