Description

The decanter is made of high-quality, clear, sparkling lead crystal, intricately cut deep. The faceted decor creates strong light reflections and emphasizes the high level of craftsmanship.

The ornamental silver applications feature three-dimensional oak leaves and a surrounding floral border frieze. These elements are made from Sheffield Plate, a traditional English silvering technique in which silver and copper were rolled into a composite — a method particularly used for sophisticated tableware from the 18th to early 20th century.

On the underside, there is the manufacturer's mark.
