What are antique decanter labels called?

They are frequently called bottle tickets, wine labels, or decanter tags by collectors and antique dealers. Historically, makers and merchants used these interchangeable terms to describe the small silver plaques hung around the necks of wine containers.

How do I date an antique silver label?

You date the piece by examining the hallmarks stamped into the silver, which reveal the assay office and the specific year of manufacture. Stylistic markers such as Regency vine leaf borders or Georgian escutcheon outlines also provide strong clues to the period of origin.

Did decanter labels come in sets?

Makers produced both individual labels and matching sets designed to outfit several wine decanters simultaneously. Matched sets of three or more labels sharing identical silver patterns remain particularly sought after for formal dining displays.
