Vintage Pressed Glass Spirits Decanter
This item is a clear glass spirits decanter featuring a highly decorative pressed pattern. The piece is cylindrical in the body, transitioning into a sloped shoulder decorated with vertical thumbprint or flute motifs. The main body is characterized by a complex geometric pattern featuring diagonal bands, faceted starbursts, and diamond point textures common in mid-20th-century glassware. The neck is tapered with a flared rim, holding a square-topped multifaceted glass stopper that mimics the cutting style of the base. The material appears to be clear soda-lime glass rather than lead crystal, as evidenced by the lack of sharp edges on the pattern lines, which is indicative of a press-molded process. No visible maker's marks or signatures are apparent in the image, suggesting it may be a mass-produced piece from the 1950s-1970s. The condition appears fair to good; while the glass maintains its clarity, there is visible residue or 'clouding' on the interior lower half, common with aged decanters. The stopper shows some slight misalignment in the neck, and minor flea bites or chips may be present along the sharpest points of the pressed pattern. The base shows a serrated 'tooth' edge commonly found in EAPG (Early American Pattern Glass) revival styles.
