Stopper has a round base, with octagonal cuts around the neck, and a large, faceted ball on top covered with interlocking diamond shapes.

An heirloom piece.

This is a gorgeous decanter, such a charming shape, almost impossible to locate. Great for a collector, would look fantastic in any setting and is perfect for use.

Excellent antique condition, the only tiny fleabites to this entire piece are some very small fleabites in a ring around the inside of the neck of the bottle from where the stopper rests- normal for age and use- not sharp or jagged and really tiny. Stopper also has a couple of flat, smooth flake chips off bottom- normal for age and use- very minor- see last 2 pics- does not affect how it sits inside bottle neck. No other nicks chips scratches or damage. Superior craftsmanship, this is truly a piece of Art and a very fine example of EARLY American Glass. Please see all pics and use zoom.
