This is an Early American etched clear glass liquor decanter. Family provenance states the origin to be the area around the Chesapeake Bay. It is etched on all 4 panels with ferns, it stands 7 1/2" tall with the stopper, 5 1/2" tall without the stopper, is 2 5/8" wide at the base and holds about 9 oz. The diamond cut stopper is 3 1/2" long and the pontil is smooth and just slightly concave. The condition is quite good remembering it is over 200 years old, no chips or cracks! The decanter has a few minor scratches and the diamond cut stopper has a few dings to a couple of the facets along with a scratch (I am calling it a scratch since it can be seen but not felt). Please look at the last 2 pictures. There are also some bubble inclusions to both pieces which is to be expected of this era of glass. This is an exquisite piece and quite possibly "unique", one of a kind! This is an amazing opportunity to own a piece of early American history!.
