An antique cut-glass drink dispenser from France, dating to ca. 1850–1900 in Empire style, 65 cm high by 24 cm wide and 24 cm deep, made of glass (Graniver), in excellent condition with a slightly dripping tap and not intended for daily use.
Description from the seller
This is an antique cut glass drink dispenser,
specifically used for serving spirits such as brandy, whisky or liqueur, dating from the late 19th century, circa 1880.
Large object with minor signs of use, a rare collector's item.It was tested with liquid and it does not leak around the tap when gluing. The tap drips a little.But it is definitely not recommended for daily use.
This item is characterized by several distinct antique styles, primarily from the Victorian era (c. 1870–1890):
Apothecary Style: A tall, pedestal-mounted "urn" or "bottle" shape is often referred to as the apothecary style. This design was often used for large displays in 19th-century drugstores and bars.
American Brilliant Cut Glass: Many high-quality pieces from this period (1876–1917) feature this hand-cut style, known for its high lead content and intricate geometric patterns.
Wheel-Engraved/Etched Design: The body features classic 19th-century motifs, specifically:
Windwheels and Starbursts: These are iconic designs for cut glass from the period.
Etched floral/vine motifs: Common in both late 19th and early 20th century English and American glassware. Monumental size: In the antique trade, this large, "monumental" size was specifically designed for commercial use, in establishments such as "Parisian-style" soda fountains or grand hotel bars.
Shipping in careful packaging, with large foam protective materials.
