Georgian Pair of Three-ring Prussian Style Decanters

19th century
Description

This is a pair of late Georgian, mouth-blown, Prussian-style three ring glass decanters dating from the early 19th century, c1820. They each hold a full bottle of wine.

The decanters are in excellent condition for their age. This means, of course, that they show age related wear and tear to the rims of the bases consistent with some 180 years of use. There are polished out pontil marks to the undersides of the bases.

The decanters have been mouth-blown in clear glass and have been embellished with three annular applied neck rings, petal-flute cutting to the shoulders and finger flute cutting to the base. The decanters measure 11 cm (4.4 inches) in diameter at their widest points. The decanters are 22 cm (8.8 inches) in height without the stoppers and 28 cm (11.2 inches) in height with the stoppers inserted. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration. There is a tiny burst bubble in the metal of one of the decanters which can be seen in the last image.

The stoppers are of bull's eye or target form and are of the same colour and period as the decanters. One is an excellent fit and the other rocks very gently in the neck so is probably a marriage.

Each decanter weighs in at 725 g. (~ 1 lb. 10 oz.).

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Prussian style decanters emerged in the late eighteenth century, featuring a shoulder-heavy, barrel-like body shape that tapers towards a narrow neck. They typically incorporate applied neck rings, designed to offer a firm grip when pouring wine or spirits at the dining table.

These vessels were hand-blown from heavy lead crystal glass. Details such as neck rings were applied hot, while surface decoration, fluting, and stoppers were hand-cut using steam or water-powered grinding wheels.

Authentic Georgian examples usually feature a polished or snapped pontil mark on the underside of the base, subtle hand-cutting irregularities, and high lead content providing noticeable weight. The ground section of the glass stopper should match the internal wear pattern of the neck.

A pair of antique glass decanters functions as a refined focal point on a dark wood sideboard, marble console table, or modern brass drinks trolley. Arranging them alongside contemporary barware creates an appealing contrast between historical craftsmanship and current design trends.

Hand wash decanters using lukewarm water and mild liquid detergent, avoiding dishwashers completely to prevent thermal shock and clouding. Allow the interior to dry thoroughly using warm air, and avoid leaving high-acid liquids inside for extended periods to prevent glass oxidation.
