AN UNUSUAL PAIR OF VICTORIAN SPIRIT DECANTERS WITH BASKET WEAVE DECORATION

A superb pair of Victorian cut glass spirit decanters, rising elegantly from a star-cut pedestal foot, each exquisitely crafted with a distinctive basket weave pattern encircling the bell-shaped body. The sharply defined intersecting cuts create a mesmerising play of light, giving depth and texture to the glass. The slender neck is finely fluted and notched, leading to a wide, flared rim. Each decanter is topped with a finely faceted, tear-shaped stopper, its vertical fluting echoing the precision of the body below. The craftsmanship reflects the refinement and artistry characteristic of the late 19th century, when glassware was both functional and a symbol of elegance.
