The Decanter is unmarked. It dates approximately to the early 20th Century. Clearly defined, American Brilliant Period cut glass is fine quality, hand-cut crystal produced from 1876 to roughly 1920. It is considered “crystal” because it comprised up to a 50% lead content (versus 24% for modern crystal), which accounted for its brilliance.

The Decanter is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. There is some minor residue on the inside bottom as a result of age and normal use.

This would make a lovely addition to your bar for wine or water. It can also make a stunning vase for fresh cut flowers.

The Decanter measures 8 1/2” High x 6” Diameter x 2 5/8” (Top Diameter). It weighs 2 pounds 15.5 ounces or 47.51 ounces or 1347 grams. See less
