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 Victorian globe shaped decanter with a faceted stopper and neck and check and oval cut design to the body.
 
The decanter and stopper are both in good condition.
