Mid Century Royal Doulton Crystal Glass Decanter C1960

1940 - 1960
For Sale by Exhibit Antiques
Description

Description

A very fine mid-century crystal wine or spirit decanter dating to circa 1960.

t retains its original mushroom-cut stopper and features elegant flute cutting to the shoulders. The main body is richly decorated with fan, star and diamond cutting, creating a striking interplay of light and reflection. The base is finished with a radial cut design and a polished pontil, and bears the acid-etched Doulton Crystal mark.

Generously proportioned, the decanter will comfortably hold a full bottle of wine, although it is equally suited to the service of whisky, brandy or other spirits, making it both a practical and impressive table piece.

Produced during the golden age of British crystal manufacture, this handsome decanter exemplifies the quality and craftsmanship for which Doulton Crystal became renowned. Its crisp cutting, excellent clarity and substantial weight make it an attractive addition to any collection or drinks cabinet.

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.

Mid-century crystal decanters typically combine mid-20th-century manufacturing with traditional hand-cut geometric patterns. Produced by established glassmakers during the 1950s and 1960s, these vessels were designed specifically for serving spirits or wine during formal entertaining.

Vintage decanters were traditionally hand-blown and cut from high-quality lead crystal, chosen for its refractive brilliance and weight. Decorative patterns were created using cutting wheels to produce sharp facets that catch and refract ambient light.

Authentic pieces exhibit sharp, clean cut wheel facets, notable weight due to lead content, and ground glass stoppers matched precisely to the neck. Many examples from leading manufacturers feature subtle acid-etched stamps or maker marks on the base.

A vintage crystal decanter functions as a decorative focal point when placed on a timber sideboard, metallic drinks trolley, or open shelving. Combining clear crystal alongside natural wood, leather, or dark painted backgrounds highlights its geometric light reflections.

Wash crystal decanters by hand in lukewarm water with mild liquid soap and a soft cloth, avoiding dishwashers to prevent glass clouding. Ensure the interior is thoroughly dry before replacing the stopper to prevent trapped moisture stains.
