{"product_id":"kosta-boda-style-snowball-glass-candle-holder-c-1970","title":"Victorian Engraved Crystal Decanter with Stopper – c.1870","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis decanter has been to more dinner parties than you ever will. Born circa 1870, it has survived the Victorian era, two world wars, and whatever happened in the 1970s — and it still looks absolutely magnificent. The kind of object that makes a dining table look like it belongs in a period drama. Which, honestly, is exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe real star here is the \u003cstrong\u003ewheel-engraved decoration\u003c\/strong\u003e — and what a decoration it is. Panels of exquisitely detailed botanicals wrap all the way around the body: ferns, flowers, and delicate foliage, framed by crisp double line borders. This is the work of a skilled craftsman with a steady hand and a lot of patience. The engraving is sharp, deep, and beautifully executed — the kind of quality that simply isn't made anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is a classic Victorian balloon decanter: a generous round body tapering into a long elegant neck, topped with its \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal matching stopper\u003c\/strong\u003e — a faceted teardrop with a flat collar, perfectly fitted after 150 years. Remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is excellent for its age. There is a very minor white haze on the base of the interior — barely visible when the piece is standing upright, and completely invisible from the outside. This is a natural characteristic of genuine 19th-century glassware and in no way detracts from the beauty of this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Victorian balloon decanter, wheel-engraved botanical panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear crystal glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStopper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original, matching faceted teardrop stopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 × 12 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1870\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent antique condition; minor interior haze on base only — not visible when standing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA statement piece for a sideboard, dining table, or bookshelf.
