GEORGE V SILVER-MOUNTED CUT GLASS DECANTER, BIRMINGHAM, 1931

This fine decanter exhibits the transition between late Edwardian elegance and the emerging geometry of the Art Deco era. The slender bell-shaped lead crystal body is expertly embellished with a deep-cut diamond and facet pattern to the mid-section, transitioning into sweeping vertical mitre cuts that extend toward a star-cut base. It is completed by its original, coordinated mushroom-style stopper, featuring matching diamond-cut ornamentation that ensures a seamless silhouette and reflects the high standard of British glassmaking in the interwar period.

Ht. 12 inches (with stopper); 750 ml
