This Victorian wine bottle originates from 1860 and measures 35 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 7 cm deep. The piece consists of a teal glass body with a silver mount, a plated fruiting vine stopper, and a silver plated decanter claret label attached by a chain. The elongated tapered neck has a silver fruiting vine texture, and the stopper features a loop handle on top. The glass body displays a vibrant teal colour, while the silver mount includes detailed grape motifs. Suitable for placement on a sideboard top in a gentleman's library, the object serves as a decorative decanter. The metal components show intricate repoussé decoration of vines and grapes, while the bottle has a smooth, cylindrical profile widening toward the flat base.

FAQs

A Victorian claret decanter is a specialised glass vessel designed for serving red wine, particularly Bordeaux wines historically known as claret. During the 19th century, these bottles were commonly decorated with silver or silver-plated necks, stoppers, and suspended metal labels.

These decanters typically combine hand-blown or moulded coloured glass, such as green, cobalt blue, or ruby red, with sterling silver or electroplated nickel silver mounts. The decorative stoppers and hanging label tags were cast or chased with ornate patterns like grapevines and acanthus leaves.

Authentic pieces usually feature pontil marks or smooth wear on the base, hand-chased silver details, and genuine silver hallmarks or makers stamps on the metal collar. The weight of the glass and the precise fit of the silver collar to the neck also indicate original period craftsmanship.

Position the decanter on a dining room sideboard, bar cart, or tray to highlight its coloured glass against natural light. Pairing it with brass or silver serving trays creates a cohesive vintage barware display.

Clean the interior of the glass using warm water and specialised glass-cleaning beads, avoiding harsh chemical detergents. The silver components should be polished gently with a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver cream, ensuring moisture does not remain sealed between the metal mount and the glass.
