A BULBOUS LIDDED GILT-GLASS DECANTER, CA. 1890
Bulbous-shaped decanter with a gold-accented design. It features two handles and a clear stopper at the top. The body of the decanter has intricate gold detailing, depicting floral motifs, giving it a luxurious and decorative appeal.
This type of glassware is a fine example of gilt glass, where the gold decoration is applied to enhance its aesthetic. The bulbous body and the use of clear and gold glass make it a statement piece, possibly intended for display or ceremonial use rather than everyday functionality.
Continental Europe, second half of the 19th century.
Dimensions: H: 9 3/4 in., ( 24.7 cm.)
Condition: Very good, no chips or cracks.
