FAQs

Decanter labels, also known as bottle tickets, originated in Britain during the eighteenth century following the introduction of clear lead crystal decanters. Prior to this, opaque glass and stoneware bottles made visual identification of wine and spirits difficult, prompting silversmiths to create small engraved metal plaques attached by chains.

The majority of traditional decanter labels were crafted from sterling silver, silver plate, or Sheffield plate, with other examples made from enamel, gold, or mother-of-pearl. Construction typically involved die-stamped or cast metal plaques finished with hand engraving and fitted with fine chain loops for suspension.

Authentic silver decanter labels feature official British assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver quality, a makers mark, an assay town symbol, and a date letter. Examine the reverse or front edge of the plaque for these stamped marks to verify metal purity and age.

Display silver decanter labels suspended around the necks of glass or crystal decanters on a drinks trolley, tray, or sideboard top. Pairing labelled decanters with contemporary glassware creates an engaging contrast within modern bar styling.

Maintain silver decanter labels by gently wiping them with a soft cotton cloth and a specialized silver polishing cream. Avoid submerging delicate chain links in abrasive cleaning solutions, and store the items in tarnish-resistant cloth covers when not in use.
