Georgian Small Plain Cut Glass Taper Spirit Decanter

18th century
Description

This is a small Georgian, taper spirit decanter dating from the second half of the 18th century, c1790.

The decanter is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear consistent with some 200+ years of use There is a polished out pontil mark on the base of the decanter.

The decanter is taper shaped. The neck is scale-cut and there is a basal band of finger flute cutting. The decanter is otherwise plain. The base is plain save for a polished out pontil mark and measures 7.8 cm (3.1 inches) in diameter. The decanter is 19.8 cm (7.8 inches) in height without the stopper and 25 cm (10 inches) in height with the stopper inserted.

The stopper is of clipped disk form, and is possibly the original. It is of the same age, style and metal as the decanter and is an excellent fit.

There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

English lead glass decanter weighing in at 500 g. (~ 1 lb. 2 oz).

FAQs

A Georgian taper decanter is an 18th or early 19th-century glass vessel featuring a slender body that narrows towards the neck, designed primarily for holding and serving spirits or wine.

Georgian decanters were primarily crafted from heavy lead crystal glass, often referred to as flint glass, which allowed for clear clarity and detailed hand-cut decorative patterns.

Authentic pieces typically display hand-ground glass stoppers fitted to individual bottle necks, subtle pontil marks on the base, minor irregularities from hand-blowing, and period-appropriate cut motifs such as vertical flutes or diamond facets.

Antique glass decanters can be arranged on a wooden sideboard, curated inside a glass display cabinet, or styled alongside modern barware on a brass drinks trolley to contrast historical textures with contemporary lines.

Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild dish detergent using a soft brush, avoiding extreme temperatures and harsh abrasives to prevent thermal shock and scratching. Ensure the interior dries completely before inserting the glass stopper.
