Edinburgh Crystal Square Spirit Decanter with Etched Golfer

This is a high-quality square-shaped spirit decanter crafted from heavy 24% lead crystal, specifically identified as Edinburgh Crystal. The piece features a traditional square profile with deeply cut vertical bevels on each of the four corners, which provide excellent light refraction. The base is decorated with a complex 16-point star-cut pattern, a hallmark of fine crystal craftsmanship that ensures brilliance when viewed from above. The focal point is a finely detailed copper-wheel or sand-engraved etching of a golfer captured mid-swing, set against a subtle landscape background. The decanter is topped with a substantial multifaceted globular stopper, often referred to as a 'diamond cut' or 'ball' stopper, which fits securely into a flared collar. The glass exhibits the exceptional clarity and high prismatic index associated with Scottish lead crystal manufacturing from the late 20th century. There are no visible signs of 'clouding' or mineral deposits inside the vessel. The condition appears excellent with no apparent chips to the delicate edges of the stopper or the base corners. The craftsmanship reflects the premium heritage of the Edinburgh Crystal Glass Company, which was renowned for its sporting-themed giftware before its closure in 2006.
