Decanter c. 1845 - 1860

This clear glass decanter, made in the mid-19th century, stands as a fine example of cut glass from the Victorian era. The clear glass is intricately cut with oval panels, each containing a detailed design of grapes and vines. The piece also features a stopper with a rounded knop. This elegant decanter, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of anonymous glassmakers from the 19th century, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail and artistry present in everyday objects.
