This George V sterling silver decanter label takes an oval form with an engine-turned border and engraved uppercase lettering spelling SHERRY across the centre, all rendered in a silver colour with surface scratches. A suspension chain connects to two loops at the top of the plate, and full hallmarks appear on the reverse. The piece measures 5 cm wide and 3 cm deep. Traditional barware accessories like this label find a functional home today adorning decanters on a sideboard top in a dining room, living room or study. It suits a gentleman's library or classic home bar setting, serving to identify beverage bottles during entertaining or as a decorative display piece.

FAQs

Decanter labels, historically referred to as bottle tickets, emerged in Britain during the 1730s due to the rise of clear glass decanters, which required identification tags for opaque or visually similar fortified wines and spirits.

While sterling silver was the predominant metal used by silversmiths, labels were also crafted from Sheffield plate, silver plate, enamel, mother-of-pearl, bone, and porcelain.

Authentic British silver items feature official assay marks, including a makers mark, town mark, purity mark (such as the lion passant for sterling silver), and a date letter stamped on the front or reverse side.

These pieces are styled by hanging them around modern or antique glass decanters displayed on a bar cart, sideboard tray, or open shelving unit.

Clean silver labels gently using a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding submersion of delicate suspension chains in harsh chemical dips.
