Description
An unusual pair of Irish cut glass decanters and stoppers, 19th/early 20th century, the rounded bodies with a wide band of hobnail cutting, the tapering necks with three faceted rings, raised on heavy square bases with a star cut beneath, 35cm. (4)
The exceptionally heavy bases on these decanters would indicate that stability was paramount as the extra glass would have made them heavy to pour when full.
