Offered for auction is this beautiful pair of art glass decanters made by Daum Cristallerie of France. The lids of the decanters are made of 'pate de verre' (literally: glass paste), in the 'Cactus' or 'Coupelle' (French for cactus) decor. The 'Cactus' decor was developed by American designer, Hilton McConnico, from Memphis, TN, who worked at Daum Cristallerie from 1987. It may be of special interest to you to know that a Cactus-decor liquor set was presented by French President Mitterand to President George Bush, as a 'Gift of State'. So, if you happen to be invited to the White House, you may just be served liquors by the President's butler from decanters similar to these. And, if the President just forgets to invite you, this is a wonderful set of decanters to own anyway. With lids on, the decanters measure 10 1/2 inches (26 cm) and 11 1/2 inches (29 cm) in heights, respectively. The square-shaped decanters measure 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) on each side. Both decanters are in excellent condition - no chips, cracks or repairs (in typical Daum fashion, the glass is crystal-clear without any cloudiness - the white areas you see in the pictures are from the camera's flash). The decanters have had felt-bottoms for protection. I have passed my fingers several times over the lids and have not found any rough spots on them either. Both decanter-bottoms read more
