A RARE THOMAS WEBB HODGETTS DECANTER IN WOODEN STAND

This striking Victorian period decanter exemplifies the refined artistry and precision of mid 19th-century glassmaking. The decanter features a classic tapering form with a bold, stepped cut neck, leading to a beautifully mitre cut mushroom stopper that fits seamlessly. The body is richly decorated with intricate crossover diamonds, with the most unusual mitre cut convex base, resting on a finely carved wooden stand, featuring an open lattice gallery.

This combination of sparkling cut glass and finely worked wood reflects the period's taste for both luxury and craftsmanship. Likely used for serving fine wines or spirits in a formal setting, it embodies the elegance and sophistication of Victorian entertaining.
