Description

This is a small glass square-cased spirit decanter, mouth-blown by James Powell & Sons in the latter part of the 19th century, c1880.

The decanter is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows some age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with use.

The decanter has been blown in pale green lightly ribbed glass. The decanter measures 6.5 cm (2.6 inches) across at the base which carries the very neat polished out pontil mark associated with this maker. The decanter is 13.5 cm (5.4 inches) in height without the stopper, and 18.5 cm (7.4 inches) tall with the stopper inserted. The stopper is a flattened spire with embellishments and is almost certainly the original. The same stopper can be seen on a shaft and globe decanter from the same maker on page 74 of the book "Whitefriars Glass James Powell & Sons of London" by Wendy Evans, Catherine Ross and Alex Werner. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration.

Lead glass weighing in at 300 g. (~ 11 oz.).

FAQs

British art glass production evolved significantly during the 19th and 20th centuries, with notable manufacturers such as James Powell & Sons (Whitefriars) pioneering innovative blowing techniques and distinct colour palettes that defined the eras aesthetic.

These pieces were typically handblown from soda-lime or lead glass, often incorporating natural mineral oxides to achieve signature colours like sea green or amber, with hand-formed stoppers ground to fit each individual neck.

Authentic pieces often exhibit pontil scars on the base from the handblowing process, subtle air bubbles within the glass matrix, characteristic wear around the foot rim, and specific maker marks or stylistic signatures associated with renowned glasshouses.

Place the decanter on a sideboard, bar cart, or open shelving where natural light can pass through the tinted glass, pairing it with complementary metallic barware or minimalist ceramics to create a balanced focal point.

Clean antique glass gently using lukewarm water and mild, non-abrasive soap, avoiding harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes; never submerge stoppered bottles for prolonged periods, and use specialized cleaning beads for the interior if necessary.
