Hand-Blown English Antique Glass Decanter c1860

An English hand-blown and cut glass spirit decanter dating to c1860, embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of mid 19th century glassmaking - functional yet highly decorative, equally suited as a collectible or as a timeless accent in barware displays. 

The decanter features a globular body tapering into a short neck with multiple applied neck rings for grip and durability. Its surface is hand-cut with elongated oval flutes, often referred to as lenses or petal cuts, adding refractive brilliance and depth. The fitted stopper is topped with a faceted, cut-glass knop echoing the motifs of the body, resting on a flattened circular foot.

Minor surface marks and occasional air bubbles are present, consistent with the authentic character of 19th-century glass.
