This is what we believe to be a late Georgian wine decanter dating from the early 19th century, c1800. The decanter is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows the age related wear and tear to the rim of the base commensurate with over 200 years of use. There are also very minor nibbles at the end of the stopper and where the stopper enters the neck of the decanter, a good sign of age and use. The neck of the decanter is embellished with three simple, annulated, applied rings. The body of the decanter is cut with broad flutes to the top and narrow flutes to the bottom. The base is plain and has a polished out pontil mark and measures 8 cm (3.2 inches) in diameter. The decanter itself is 19 cm (7.6 inches) in height without the stopper and 22.5 cm (9 inches) tall with the stopper inserted. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or evidence of restoration. The stopper is of radial-cut mushroom form and appears to be contemporary with the decanter. It is a reasonable fit and you can lift the decanter by the stopper which is always a good sign that they were made for each other.English lead glass.Quote stock number: 1219
