Stoppered Decanter c. 19th century

This 19th-century glass decanter, crafted by an anonymous artist, exemplifies the artistry of glassblowing and decorative techniques. The decanter, featuring a stopper, displays intricate cut glass patterns on its body, showcasing the skill of the craftsman. The piece, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, represents a common household object transformed into a work of art through meticulous craftsmanship. Its simple yet elegant design, with the intricate cut glass, would have been appreciated by the general public in the 19th century, as it is today.
