Cut Glass Triple Ring Decanter c1835

A stunning and unusual William IV three quarter size decanter (holds 3 parts of a bottle of wine). The hexagonal cut, flattened teardrop stopper echoes the six vertical cuts of the mallet shaped body. The vertical cuts punctuated with a single 'thumb' cut and 'V' cut, the shoulder and neck each with a ring of 'thumb' cuts. The neck is finished with a double and then single ring, and the base has a simple polished pontil mark. In excellent condition throughout; a truly beautiful example. Height 24cm (9.5in)
