Description

This is a small Georgian engraved glass taper cordial decanter, mouth-blown some time around the turn of the 18th/19th centuries.

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 clear glass and is wheel-engraved with hatched swags and tails to the shoulders above floral fronds. The initials "MJC"(?) are engraved into one side. The decanter measures 8.2 cm (3.3 inches) across at the polished base. The decanter is 19.5 cm (7.8 inches) in height without the stopper, and 24.5 cm (9.8 inches) tall with the stopper inserted. The stopper is of cut lozenge form and is possibly the original. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

Lead glass weighing in at 315 g. (~ 11 oz.).

FAQs

The Georgian period, spanning from 1714 to 1830, is characterised by functional yet elegant glassware often featuring hand-cut or engraved motifs, pontil marks on the base, and distinctive heavy metal glass compositions.

Georgian decanters were traditionally crafted from lead glass or potash glass, shaped using free-blowing or mould-blowing techniques, and finished with hand-engraving or wheel-cutting.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit irregularities such as air bubbles, striations in the glass, a rough snapped pontil scar on the underside, and wear consistent with age, alongside period-correct engraving styles.

Displaying antique glassware on a sideboard, bar cart, or open shelving introduces reflective texture and historical contrast into contemporary living spaces.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding harsh abrasives and extreme temperature changes to protect the fragile material.
