Elegant Tapered Glass Decanter with Ornate Silver Collar

A refined silhouette from the Belle Époque era, this French decanter pairs clear hand-blown glass with an ornate silver-plated collar and an unforgettable finial-style stopper. The stopper alone is a work of art—shaped like a carved leaf with an internal floral motif that catches and refracts light beautifully.

Its tapered body, soft vertical lines, and starburst-cut base embody the elegance and restraint of late 19th–early 20th century French design, when tableware was crafted not merely for use but to elevate the ritual of living.

Whether styled on a bar cart, nestled into a holiday vignette, or used to serve cordials and after-dinner spirits, this decanter brings quiet sophistication to any setting. It’s the kind of understated luxury that makes a home feel curated, intentional, and deeply lived-in.
