Vintage Late 19th Century
Tall Bohemian Ruby / Cranberry Cut to Clear Decanter
With Sterling Top and Stopper
The vintage late 19th-century Bohemian ruby cut to clear decanter with a sterling top and stopper is a stunning and highly collectible piece of glassware.
The term "ruby cut to clear" refers to a glass-cutting technique where a layer of red glass (ruby) is carefully cut away to reveal clear glass underneath, creating intricate and beautiful patterns. This technique was particularly popular during the 19th century and is known for its elegance and craftsmanship.
The addition of a sterling silver top and stopper adds to the decanter's luxury and sophistication. Sterling silver was often used for decorative elements in glassware during this period, and it complements the rich red color of the glass beautifully.
Decanters like these were typically used to serve and store fine wines and spirits. They were not only functional but also served as decorative pieces, often displayed prominently in dining rooms or liquor cabinets.
Today, these vintage decanters are highly sought after by collectors of antique glassware and those who appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of the late 19th century. They are not only functional for serving beverages but also serve as elegant and nostalgic additions to home decor.
