Pressed Glass Decanter with Stopper

This is a vintage pressed glass decanter, currently filled with a bright red liquid indicating its functional use or decorative display. The decanter features a classic bellied base that tapers into a slender neck, topped with a decorative stopper. The physical characteristics include clear, transparent glass with cut or pressed diamond patterns adorning the lower half of the body and repeating on the stopper. The pattern provides a reflective surface, especially noticeable with the red liquid inside, which interacts with the faceted surfaces to create a shimmering effect. The decanter appears to be of standard size for spirits or wine, likely between 8 and 12 inches in height including the stopper. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear marks on the glass, suggesting good preservation. The stopper, which appears to be ground glass, fits snugly into the neck of the decanter, confirming its design for sealing contents. The craftsmanship is indicative of mass-produced glass items from the mid-20th century, possibly dating from the 1950s to 1970s, given the style of pressed glass. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided images. The overall quality appears to be good for its type, serving both a practical and decorative purpose.
