Vintage Steuben Slice Flute Cut Clear Crystal Glass Teardrop Decanter & Stopper

  
Slice Flute Cut Clear Crystal Glass Teardrop Decanter & Stopper. The overall shape and the stopper match Steuben decanters that I find online. However, this decanter is unmarked unlike those with lightly etched marks. Some have just a number or letter. Some have a scrawled or blocked Steuben.

In the smooth, crystal clear stopper, the teardrop air bubble is not perfectly centered. But, this stopper matches those Steuben marked ones. And, I have only found teardrop bubble stoppers on Steuben decanters. The neck or upper half of this decanter is slice or flute cut unlike the smooth neck teardrop Steuben marked decanters that I have seen.

The rounded lip matches the Steuben marked decanters. The mouth of the decanter is 1 inch and the bottom of the stopper is 0.75 inch. The rim diameter is 1.25 inches. This decanter has a shallow concave 1.5 inch diameter area at the base.

This depression matches some Steuben marked decanters. Height: 9 1/2 inches without stopper. Height: 11 inches with stopper. Base diameter is 3 1/2 inches.

Width diameter: 4 1/2 inches. Weight: 1 pound 5.7 ounces with stopper. Or, interested buyers may contact me to examine the decanter and use the local pick-up option. You can request an invoice.

Is Steuben glass always marked? Yes, most Steuben glass was marked before it left the factory. Unfortunately, there was not a lot of standardization of the marks so one needs to know several different diamond script maker's marks to verify if the glass is a real Steuben.

How can I tell if Steuben glass is real? Most Steuben glass was marked in some way before leaving the factory. The most common mark is a fleur-de-lis with "STEUBEN" written in block letters.

Other pieces may simply have the letter "S".
