4071 A Georgian Ship's Decanter with Cut Decoration.
This is not just a ship's decanter, but an excellent and genuine Georgian example in fine condition. It holds a full bottle to just below the cutting, and will hold a litre easily.
The decanter has a conical body, the upper part with slice-, or panel-cutting. It has 4 neck rings, also cut in unison with the upper body and neck, and the lip is nicely everted - something which complements the overall shape. The decanter is heavy because the glass was blown thicker to take the cutting. It is fitted with a target or bull's eye stopper, which looks to be original.
Ship's decanters of the period 1790 - 1820 are distinctly uncommon, but this is a better-than-average example, and to use an expression which used to be often heard in the antiques trade - "it stands well".
