FAQs

Decanter labels, also known as bottle tickets, originated in the mid-18th century in Britain to identify the contents of decanters when port, sherry, and other spirits were decanted from opaque glass bottles.

They were traditionally crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as stamping, casting, pierced work, and hand engraving, often suspended from a link chain around the neck of the decanter.

Authenticity is typically determined by examining the metal hallmarks, makers marks, overall weight, patination, and the crispness of the engraved lettering.

They can be displayed on vintage crystal decanters placed upon a bar cart, sideboard, or drinks tray to add a touch of classic heritage to a home bar setup.

Silver pieces should be cleaned gently using a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver polish only when necessary, storing them in a tarnish-resistant environment away from moisture.
