$423.00

Presented is a pair of stunning cut glass decanters. This pair displays gorgeous American Brilliant Cut glass and represent the style of the turn of the century. This pair has a round paneled shape in the glass which is mirrored in the shape of the sterling stoppers. The stoppers seat well and are have sterling silver wrapped around them. The tops are very heavy. There is a monogram on the top of each stopper, JJB, in a flowing script. The glass was made by one of the major American cut glass companies that worked with Gorham.

Each stopper is marked sterling along with the maker's mark for Gorham. There is a Gorham year mark for 1896. There are no marks on the glass.

This pair is in excellent overall condition. There are a few chips on the stopper end but nothing that affects the function of the piece (photo 7). One of the sterling stoppers has a small dent on the top of it, directly where the monogram is. There are no breaks and no repairs.
