Jim Beam Reno Centennial Commemorative Bourbon Decanter

This is a vintage Jim Beam ceramic whiskey decanter created in 1968 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Reno, Nevada. The vessel is crafted from genuine Regal China with a rectangular, flat-bodied form. Its front face features embossed relief details, including the text '100 YEARS' above the 'RENO' logo, which is set in yellow and white hexagonal tiles. Below this, a stylized banner is inscribed with the city's famous slogan, 'THE BIGGEST LITTLE CITY IN THE WORLD,' positioned above an embossed cityscape silhouette. The ceramic is finished in an iridescent or pearlescent glaze with blue, green, and white gradients. The decanter maintains its original gold foil label at the base, identifying it as Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 86 proof, aged 100 months. The original tax stamp and gold-tone cap remain intact at the top. Condition-wise, the decanter shows signs of age with slight wear to the foil labeling and potential evaporative loss of contents, though the bottle appears structurally sound with no visible chips or cracks. These decanters were highly popular collectibles in the late 1960s and 1970s, showcasing mid-century Americana through artisanal ceramic production by the Regal China Corporation.
