In cut glass, the rounded body gives the cutter a broad, curving surface, so the pattern can be seen from every side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is a broad, rounded globe rising to a tall, narrow neck with a flat, flared rim. The hand-cut decoration is arranged in bands. A row of small oval cuts circles the neck. A band of fine cross-hatched diamond cutting runs around the shoulder, and crossed lines fall from it in arched swags around the body. A radiating star is cut to the base and shows through the glass. Inside the neck, the glass is ground where the stopper sits. The stopper is silver-plated and shaped as an acorn, with a ringed collar above a turned shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe decanter is in very good condition, with no chips, cracks or restoration. The silver-plated stopper has some spotting to the plating on its lower shank, where it sits inside the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: unidentified; unmarked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: globe decanter with stopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: clear hand-cut glass; silver-plated stopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecoration: oval cuts to the neck; cross-hatched diamond band and arched swags to the body; star cut to the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: diameter 15 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 794 g (with stopper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: very good; no chips, cracks or restoration; some spotting to the plating on the stopper's lower shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuyer profile: someone setting up a drinks tray or sideboard; collector of cut glass; buyer looking for a decanter that reads well on open display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector Appeal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe globe form shows the cutting all the way round, so the decanter reads as well on a shelf as on a table.
