General Auction Including Antiques, Collectables Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
A trio of assorted 20th-century lead crystal decanters of broad-based ships form. Each vessel is constructed from heavy lead crystal with deep hand-cut geometric decoration and a vertically fluted neck. The central decanter features a complex pattern of interlocking diamonds with strawberry-cut infills, surmounted by stylized fan motifs; it is fitted with a matching diamond-cut ball stopper which retains a gold and clear label printed Lead Crystal Hand Cut. The rear left decanter is decorated with large radial sunburst motifs separated by deep vertical pillar cuts and is fitted with a plain spherical ball stopper. The rear right decanter features a repeating diamond lattice or cross-hatched pattern and is fitted with a multi-faceted jewel-form stopper retaining a partial gold and blue foil label.
Central decanter height including stopper: 28cm
Central decanter base diameter: 19cm.
Condition report:
The glass remains generally bright with crisp edges to the cutting. One decanter (rear left with sunburst pattern) shows significant internal cloudiness and residue to the base which may require professional cleaning. There is light surface wear and minor scratching to the underside of the bases consistent with age and use. No major chips, cracks, or repairs are visible.
