This is a Victorian, clear glass decanter jug dating from the latter part of the 19th century, and probably originating from the Low Countries. The decanter is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with some 200 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the kicked-in base.The flask is of shaft and flattened globe form measuring 13.5 cm (5.4 inches) in diameter at its widest point. The neck is plain save for a single hand-applied and crimped neck ring just below the pouring rim. The reservoir is decorated with eight vertical trails of rigaree which combine to form a circle of rigaree around the base of the neck. The decanter is 21.5 cm (8.6 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. It weighs 665 g. (~ 1 lb 7 oz.).
