Identifying a decanter- may be great, may be nothing

Hello,

Since I am a seller of glass and collectibles I am so glad I found a site like this. I have a cool looking decanter I recenlty purchased at an auction and I just cannot find out who made it. I believe it could be a "nothing" from a department store or it may be something special that's why I figured I would ask some experts. It has no markings on the bottom but a circle on the base that has a "T" followed on the second line by a "CS". Here are some photos and I appreciate the look!

This is likely to be a Jamestown Glass or Williamsburg contemporary piece.

See http://www.eparks.com/store/category/26/305/Reproduction/ for an online catalog which does not include a bottle exactly like this but shows similar examples.

Your bottle imitates a 17th century "shaft and globe" style bottle. Original examples of shaft and globe bottles with applied seals are extreme rarities.

Thank you so much for the reply. I looked everywhere and could not duplicate this bottle. This point in the right direction.

Best, Chris
