AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and elegant liquor decanter bottle signed by the prestigious Alessandria-based manufactory CESA 1882.
The centerpiece of this set is the sumptuous geometric dome-shaped stopper with its collar, made entirely in solid 925 sterling silver for a total weight of 93 grams. The value of the worked and hallmarked silver alone exceeds €120 in market estimation.
Specifications of the Silver Stopper:
• Weight: 93 grams
• Original hallmark: Silver fineness 925 in an oval, historic factory mark 1 AL (the first historic hallmark assigned to Alessandria in 1935) and commercial signature CESA 1882.
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition, solid and splendidly preserved.
Specifications of the Crystal Body:
• Transparent heavy crystal worked with facets/faceted cuts.
• Transparency note: A chip with a hairline along the upper edge of the glass neck (visible in the last photos) is noted. The defect is purely structural and is completely hidden from view when the silver collar and stopper are inserted, leaving the decanter’s aesthetics perfect when displayed on a bar cart or in a display case.
