How do you hang a decanter tag?

These tags suspend from a silver chain or rigid collar that slips around the bottleneck. This allows the label to hang freely against the glass. Ensure the chain length matches the taper of your specific decanter neck so the label rests securely without slipping down.

What spirits do these labels name?

Traditional tags identify specific wines and spirits such as claret, port, sherry, whisky, and brandy. Each label corresponds to the historic contents of the decanter. Matching the label correctly to the bottle ensures proper identification during formal dining or casual serving.

How do you clean silver decanter tags?

Cleaning requires a soft cloth and specialist silver polish applied gently to avoid damaging engraved details or enamel work. Enamelled surfaces need particular care to preserve the glass fusion. Store the tags flat or hang them carefully when not in use to prevent scratching the precious metal.

How do I tell Georgian tags apart from mid-century ones?

Georgian pieces typically feature hand-engraved text, cast frames, and traditional wine names without added colour. They rely purely on silver craftsmanship for their decorative impact. Mid-century examples often incorporate brightly coloured vitreous enamel and Birmingham assay markings that distinguish them from their eighteenth and early nineteenth-century predecessors.
