| A full size English Georgian green taper decanter dating to C1770-80. Thick walled with a slight flare to the lip over a gently tapering shape to a base with slight ‘kick’ and polished pontil with remnants of the scar. The practice at this time was to grind stoppers in to fit. This decanter has never had a stopper fitted; the tooling marks to the inner neck can be seen and felt, with no evidence of grinding. The neck opening isn’t wide enough to qualify as a carafe; so I assume the decanter was either ‘corked’ in usage, perhaps with a precious metal mount or maybe loose stoppered? The decanter shows an overall surface patination appropriate to its age and has a ring of basal wear to the bearing surface. Height: Just under 9 ¾” Base diameter: 4” The colour is probably best described as ‘Bristol’ green. | ||
