Ruby Red Glass Decanter with Stopper

This item is a vintage-style decanter crafted from deep ruby red glass, designed for holding spirits or other beverages. The decanter features a distinctive octagonal body that tapers upwards into a narrower, six-sided neck. The lower, wider portion of the body is adorned with intricate molded patterns, including panels with raised diamond or hobnail textures, alternating with flat, polished facets that reflect light. The neck is also faceted, presenting a more angular and structured appearance before flaring slightly at the opening. A prominent feature is the matching stopper, which is spherical or mushroom-shaped and entirely covered in the same hobnail or diamond-point texture as seen on the decanter's body, providing a unified design aesthetic. The material appears to be pressed glass, characteristic of manufacturing techniques from the late 19th to mid-20th century. The rich, translucent ruby red color is consistent throughout, suggesting a deliberate and vibrant hue. The overall condition appears good, with no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant abrasions from the provided image, though a closer inspection would be required to confirm the absence of minor wear or internal cloudiness. The stopper fits snugly into the neck, indicating it is likely original to the decanter. This piece exhibits craftsmanship common to decorative glassware intended for display and functional use in a home setting.
