FAQs

Victorian silver-mounted glassware combines mouth-blown or moulded glass vessels with hallmarked sterling silver collars, mounts, and stoppers, reflecting the high craftsmanship and refined dining habits of the late 19th century.

These pieces were typically crafted using free-blown or mould-blown glass, often incorporating techniques such as acid-etching or wheel-engraving to create frosted decorative motifs, complemented by hand-forged sterling silver fittings.

Authentic pieces feature crisp silver hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal mounts, usually including a makers mark, a standard mark, a city assay office mark, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

An antique decanter can be displayed on a bar cart, sideboard, or open shelving to introduce historical texture, colour, and metallic shine into a modern living space.

Wash the glass gently in lukewarm water using mild dish soap, avoiding harsh abrasives that could damage the etchings. Polish the silver mounts sparingly with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver cream, keeping moisture away from any historic cork or adhesive components.
