5001 A Cruciform Decanter

Cruciform decanters are among the earliest that can be seen, although the universally accepted moniker -'cruciform' can be a little misleading.  Some decanters of this type are indeed of cross-shaped plan, but others, like this, are a variation on that theme.

The decanter is in very good condition generally, although there is a small acrylic 'filling' to the lip.  The decanter is clear, and like many of its type, has an annulated string ring.
