Crafted in deep teal blue glass with a highly dimensional diamond hobnail texture, this piece is elegantly adorned with hand-applied gold accents across the body, neck, and faceted stopper. “Hand-applied gold enamel accents—typical of Norleans mid-century imports—likely real gold based on production methods of the era.”

The sculptural stopper adds height and geometric drama, while the gold detailing creates a rich visual contrast against the jewel-toned glass. The decanter retains its original "Norleans – Made in Italy" label on the starburst-cut base.

Whether displayed on a bar cart, in a glass cabinet, or as a statement piece in a vignette, this exquisite Italian crystal decanter is a collectible treasure for lovers of Hollywood Regency, mid-century modern, or maximalist décor.

Dimensions: Approx. 12" H x 5.5" W x 5.5" D (including stopper)

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips or cracks. Minor age-related wear to gold accents as expected with pieces of this era. See less
