A Very Tall Modified Cruciform Decanter Bottle, c1740

About the Item

A Very Tall Modified Cruciform Decanter Bottle, c1740 Cruciform decanters were never stoppered with glass, they were corked. They may also have been intended for sparkling wines and cider. The latter may undergo a secondary malolactic fermentation in the bottle to yield some effervescence. This may account for the thick glass and sturdy nature of cruciform decanters. The string ring on a cruciform in the context of sparkling wines is therefore analgous to those found on wine bottles, a device to which string could be bound in order to restrain a cork. Additional information: Date : c1740 Period : George II Origin : England Colour : Clear, grey blue hue Neck : Quadruple annulated neck ring or string ring Body : Modified Criciform Pontil : Snapped Glass Type : Lead Size : H 21 cm Condition : Excellent Restoration : None
