Etched Glass Decanter with Spherical Stopper

This is a clear glass decanter, characterized by its cylindrical body and a prominent spherical glass stopper. The decanter appears to be made of transparent, colorless glass, exhibiting a smooth and polished surface. Its construction features a relatively thick base for stability, tapering slightly into a straight-sided body before narrowing at the neck to accommodate the stopper. The neck has a simple rim, designed to sit flush with the stopper's base. The most distinguishing feature is the etched floral or botanical pattern, possibly dandelion-like motifs, which adorns the exterior surface of the decanter's body. The etching is subtle and appears to be frosted or sandblasted onto the clear glass, creating a delicate visual texture. The spherical stopper, also made of clear glass, seamlessly complements the decanter's design, featuring a solid round top and a ground or ridged stem that fits snugly into the decanter's opening. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, suggesting it is in good, used condition. The clarity of the glass indicates good quality and careful handling. The overall style suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary design, emphasizing functionality with decorative etching. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided images. The craftsmanship appears to be machine-made or semi-handmade, with good attention to detail in the etching.
