FAQs

Produced during the 19th century, these vessels were designed to store spirits, liqueurs, or flavoured infusions such as cloves. They feature copper-wheel or acid-etched lettering alongside decorative motifs on clear or coloured lead crystal.

Antique decanters were typically mouth-blown from lead crystal or glass, followed by hand-cutting or acid-etching to create precise patterns and lettering. Stoppers were individually ground to fit each specific vessel neck precisely.

Authentic pieces frequently display a ground or polished pontil mark on the base, acid-etched or cut lettering with slight hand-crafted irregularities, and custom ground glass stoppers that fit securely.

Position glass decanters on a drinks trolley, sideboard, or open kitchen shelving to capture natural light. Pairing clear glass vessels with polished silver trays or dark timber surfaces highlights their acid-etched details.

Wash by hand using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding dishwashers and rapid temperature changes. To clear internal cloudiness or residue, soak with warm water, white vinegar, and soft glass-cleaning beads.
