This is a pair of William IV/early Victorian, mouth-blown, Bristol blue glass mell decanters dating from the early to mid 19th century, c1835/1840.
The decanters are in excellent condition for their age. This means, of course, that they show the age related wear and tear to the rims of the bases consistent with some 180 years of use. There are polished pontil marks to the underside of the bases.
The decanters have been mouth-blown in Bristol blue glass. The decanters measure 15.5 cm (6.2 inches) in diameter at their widest points and are 22 cm (8.8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration. They come with matching white metal and cork stoppers for Claret and Brandy.
Each decanter weighs in at 670 g. (~ 1 lb. 8 oz.).
