History: This mid-20th century green glass decanter set is an attractive and rare example of European barware. Comprising a large decanter with matching stopper, five small tumblers, and a whimsical fish-shaped metal pourer with a cork stopper, this set displays intricate silver overlay featuring riverfront scenes and classical architecture—typical of souvenir or export glassware from Eastern Europe (often Bohemia/Czechoslovakia or Germany).
 
 
The green glass is richly hued and slightly translucent, complemented by silvered rims and illustrative etched designs. The fish pourer—finely detailed and realistically scaled—is likely chromed metal and doubles as both a conversation piece and a practical accessory.
 
 
Use:
 
 
Intended as a liqueur or aperitif decanter set, this ensemble would have originally been used for after-dinner drinks or entertaining and today makes for a striking bar display. The finely etched scenes and stylized stopper, along with the humorous pourer, add both elegance and charm.
