Modern Ship's Captain's Decanter with Stopper

This is a contemporary clear glass decanter, specifically designed in the 'Ships Deck' or 'Captain's Decanter' style, characterized by a broad, flat base intended to provide stability on a moving vessel. The piece stands approximately 9 to 11 inches tall including the stopper. It features a tapered neck that flares out into a wide, cylindrical bottom chamber with sharp, clean shoulders. The glass is clear and appears to be machine-made or high-quality pressed glass rather than hand-blown, indicated by its uniform thickness and lack of visible pontil mark on the base. The accompanying glass stopper is flat-topped and circular, currently secured to the neck with plastic wrap or tape, suggesting it is a mismatched or secondary market item. The glass shows good clarity without significant clouding or 'sick glass' syndrome. There are no visible chips or cracks in this view, though some light surface scratches may exist on the bottom from shelf wear. A white adhesive price tag is visible on the lower body. This style is consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century glassware production, likely produced between 1970 and 2000 for use with wine or spirits. The craftsmanship is utilitarian yet elegant, lacking ornate cuttings often found on lead crystal variants.
