How do I clean an antique glass stopper bottle?

Gentle washing with warm water and mild soap preserves the delicate interior surfaces and historic glass. Avoid abrasive brushes or harsh chemical cleaners that might scratch the material or damage old gilding.

Can I use these decanters for serving wine today?

Many Victorian and Georgian decanters remain entirely functional for serving wine and spirits at the modern table. Inspect the interior for any stubborn residue before pouring potable liquids into historic vessels.

How do I know if the stopper is original?

Original stoppers often share matching numerical tally marks or identical glass tint and wear patterns with the bottle neck. An authentic fit rests comfortably in the neck without excessive wobbling or grinding.

What is the difference between a decanter and a scent bottle?

Decanters are larger vessels built to hold wine or spirits for dining and entertaining purposes. Scent bottles are miniature containers meant for personal fragrance and dressing table use.
