Trio of Vintage Pressed and Cut Glass Spirit Decanters

This set consists of three distinct glass spirit decanters, likely dating from the mid to late 20th century. The decanter on the left features a rectangular body with a grid-like or waffle-pressed pattern and a matching globular stopper. The center decanter is a classic square 'Tantalus' style with deep vertical and crisscross wedge cuts, topped with a large faceted orb stopper that exhibits high clarity and light refraction. The decanter on the right showcases a dense 'Diamond Point' or hobnail texture across the entire body, paired with a matching square-faceted stopper. All three pieces are constructed from heavy, clear glass (possibly lead crystal for the center piece given the light dispersion). The condition appears good overall, though minimal flea bites or surface scratches are typical for glassware of this age. The variation in cutting techniques suggests they may be from different manufacturers but were curated as a set. Each features a ground-glass neck and stopper base to ensure an airtight seal for contents like whiskey, bourbon, or brandy. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image, but the craftsmanship suggests mass-market quality to mid-tier glassware.
