Substantial vintage lead crystal decanter of Central European origin, crafted in the mid- to late-20th century. This striking piece features a heavy square body with beveled edges, a deeply cut starburst base, and a thick rectangular slab stopper. The crystal has exceptional clarity and weight, characteristic of high-quality Bohemian (Czech) lead crystal produced for export during the mid-century period.
Unmarked examples like this were commonly sold through fine department stores and specialty retailers and originally labeled with foil tags that are often lost over time. With its bold geometric form and nearly five-pound weight, this decanter makes an impressive statement as functional barware or as a sculptural decorative accent on a bar cart, credenza, or sideboard.
