c. 1875 Antique Glass Brandy Decanter

As old as The United States of American, late 18th century, this is truly a tangle piece of history. This brandy decanter is made of flint glass which is known for being better glass for optics. This means that it will best display its contents. This lead glass crystal has an unbreakable chemical structure that secures the knowledge that it is food safe.

To behold as well as hold the decanter can be quite moving. The thickness of the glass has a hefty result. The details it contains inspires to imagine it’s construction. The etched lines of the word “Brandy” and the lovely bouquet of flowers invites one to picture the etching wheel masterfully move over the glass by maker’s hand. Large pot stones, one being quite big, and air bubbles are suspended within the enduring glass walls. The neck shows evidence of a potentially missing handle.
