I was browsing eBay looking at various majolica pitchers last night and came across these two specimens:
To me they appear to be the same model, although the second one is perhaps more faded in color than the first. However one is dated as aroudn 1890s and the other 1920. It got me very curious, is there anyway to verify either of these? Is it likely that this same model could have such divergent production dates (maybe the faded one is older?) or is it more likely one of the sellers is misinformed?
Finally, in general how can you be sure these majolica decanters are for absinth? by a small opening?
