This clear lead crystal cut glass decanter originates from the Regency period, circa 1810. The vessel incorporates a faceted octagonal stopper, prominent neck rings, a diamond cut band circling the body, and a fluted base. Minor nibbles occur around the neck, while a manufacturing ridge remains on the base from the broken pontil. The piece measures 27 cm high, 10 cm wide, and 10 cm deep. In a contemporary home setting, this decanter suits placement on a sideboard top for serving spirits. It functions well within traditional dining room schemes or living spaces, adding period character to a drinks tray or cabinet display.

FAQs

Regency cut glass decanters, produced from approximately 1800 to 1830, are characterised by heavy lead crystal construction, geometric wheel-cut patterns such as diamond band facets, and step-cut neck rings designed to facilitate a firm grip during service.

Regency glassmakers primarily utilised high-lead flint glass, which provided superior clarity, weight, and light refraction. Patterns were hand-cut into the blown glass using rotating iron and stone wheels before undergoing abrasive polishing.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit slight asymmetrical variations from hand-blowing, faint surface friction wear on the underside of the base, hand-ground stoppers shaped to fit the specific neck opening, and a ground pontil scar.

Positioning cut glass decanters on a dark wood sideboard, a polished brass tray, or inside a glass drinks cabinet allows light to refract through the geometric facets, creating a focal accent within contemporary dining spaces.

Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding rapid thermal changes and abrasive scouring pads. To prevent internal clouding or mineral buildup, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth or utilize specialized glass drying beads.
