SOLD- Georgian Amethyst Wine Carafe c1810

Description

An excellent Georgian Regency Amethyst Wine Carafe c1810. Onion shaped it has a wide pouring rim with a polished pontil.

English lead. no chips cracks or restoration. clean and clear. it measures 9 inches tall and approx. 5 ½ inches in diameter and will easily hold 1 bottle one wine.  Some light scratching to the pouring rim where someone has probably used a glass stopper. As a general rule they rarely had stoppers and would have had a ground neck if a decanter (this example does not have the ground neck.) and may possibly have had a cork stopper which is long lost but easily replaced.  

A fine example perfectly suited to the Christmas dining table and an excellent talking point
