Decanter with stopper 18th-19th century

This 18th-19th century glass decanter with stopper from an anonymous artist is a clear example of glassblowing craftsmanship. The clear glass body is decorated with intricate cut patterns, including a diamond-shaped pattern that encircles the body and vertical ridges at the base, giving it a sense of visual depth. The decanter, with its stoppers, was likely used for storing and pouring wine or spirits. This piece, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the beauty and functionality of decorative glassware.
