This antique cut glass decanter has a compact, architectural form with strong geometric detailing. The body is short and stout, with flattened vertical panels and deep geometric cutwork that tapers sharply into a straight cylindrical neck, reinforced with an applied collar ring and a flared lip—ideal for easy pouring. The stopper is spherical with faceted cuts, echoing the crosshatched motifs on the body. Its gem-like surface reflects light and balances the strong, squared lines of the vessel.

Minor surface marks and occasional air bubbles are present, consistent with the authentic character of 19th-century glass. See less
