Antique 18th century English Glass Decanter
$1,250.00
Antique glass decanters are the perfect balance of function and look. Although people have been using them to decant wine and spirit for thousands of years “since the Middle Ages”, they realized that it often created sediment at the bottom. Therefore, decanters were used to remove this sediment prior to serving. Also, this allowed the wine or spirit to breath and to look more elegant on the dining table. Crystal has always been the preferred material and initially the glass was left clear or simply cut to allow any remaining sediment to be seen. At this time, colored decanters were also available although more difficult to find now.
A stunning Antique English Decanter showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship from the 18th century. There is engraved ferns, foliate and leaves which are featured on the body of this piece. The stopper also has an original engraved floral design on it. This decanter is ideal for serving your favorite drinks or simply as a stunning display piece.
Decanters add a magical touch to any dining table, especially by candlelight!
