Until the 1670s wine was served at the table in jug or green glass bottle. The decanter started to appear after 1670 and usually took a jug form, it wasn't until the middle of the 1700s that decanters were seen in a form we are more familiar with now.
 
This is a 19th century decanter with oval cutting to the body and star cutting to the base. The neck has 3 closed rings and panel cutting to the shoulders.
 
Condition is good.
