Decanter with stopper 19th-20th century

This pair of ruby glass decanters, created by an anonymous artist sometime between the 19th and 20th centuries, are a testament to the craftsmanship of glassblowing. The decanters, each standing at 11 inches tall, feature intricate cut glass designs and are adorned with etched grapevines, suggesting their use for holding wine. The ruby glass color, achieved through the addition of gold to the molten glass, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. Currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, these decanters are a beautiful example of decorative arts and a reminder of the enduring appeal of glassware.
