Re-Run Sunday Gold & Silver, Antiques & Collectables (14% Buyers Commission)
A pair of antique lead crystal decanters of barrel form, designed in the Regency style of the early 19th century. Each decanter features a body decorated with a deep-cut honeycomb or diamond pattern. The necks are accented with three annulated rings, a functional feature designed to provide a secure grip when pouring. Each vessel is topped with a matching mushroom-shaped stopper, featuring radial facet cutting to the upper surface and ground glass plugs. The clarity and weight of the glass suggest high-quality lead crystal, characteristic of English or Irish glassworks such as Stourbridge or Waterford from the period circa 1810-1840. No maker marks or signatures are visible on the bodies or stoppers.
Condition report:
Both decanters are in good antique condition. There is visible internal clouding and residue within the necks and on the ground glass plugs, consistent with previous use. Minor fleabites and light surface grazing are present on the sharp edges of the cut facets, which is typical for glassware of this age.
