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 lovely pair of cut glass globular shaped decanters with heavy cutting to the body and faceted panels to the neck, both have original stoppers.
 
Condition is very good
