    Description

    For sale is an Antique late 18th to early 19th century free blown clear glass decanter in great antique condition. Please see reference book for a late 18th century decanter in similar form. This particular one features diamond and sunburst design, likely molded by Keene Glasswork. The base contains a crude unpolished pontil mark. Bubbles and minor impurities exist due to manufacturing process. These imperfections are a characteristic of early American glass. No damages of any kind is found. Sunburst pattern stopper is also old and likely original.
