Welcome to Antiques & Moore! This listing is for a beautiful antique cut glass decanter in amethyst cut-to-clear cased glass, c. Measures 9 1/4" high (to top of stopper), 6" overall width with a 3 diameter base.
The design features a stylized cut "flower" with vertical cut "leaves" below separated by 4-point star panels. The neck has elongated panel cuts and the mouth and handle have rounded cut-outs. The decanter has a clear glass applied handle and a deep cut star in base.
The stopper is a notch cut ball crystal stopper and fits correctly into the mouth of the decanter. This nice pitcher is in very good condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. There is a zig-zag rubbed area on the center petal of one "flower" showing on each side of the petal. This could be easily buffed by anyone who repairs glass. The stopper does have minor chips on the bottom edge that do not show when it is in place in the decanter.
The bottom of the decanter has minor signs of wear from normal use and the interior flat bottom of the decanter has some very minor cloudiness. The amethyst ring around the outside edge of the bottom reflects into the clear glass base and the wear and minor discoloration on the bottom is totally unnoticed.
