Engraved Decanter in the Form of a Bottle TG Hawkes & Co., circa 1930
Located in Melbourne, Victoria
A decanter in the form of a bottle, with sterling silver top and entensive engraved decoration. The lock is a convincing sham, which looks secure but opens easily without a key.
The top is stamped Sterling, and the base has an etched mark for Hawkes.
T.G. Hawkes & Co. was a prominent American glass manufacturer that operated from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The company was founded by Thomas G. Hawkes in 1880 in Corning, New York, which was already a center of glass manufacturing.
T.G. Hawkes & Co. specialized in the production of high-quality cut glass, also known as crystal glass, which was a popular luxury item during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company quickly established a reputation for producing some of the finest cut glass in the world, and its products were highly sought after by wealthy Americans and Europeans.
Hawkes' cut glass was known for its intricate designs, precise cuts, and brilliant shine. The company's designs ranged from simple geometric patterns to more intricate floral and scroll designs, and many pieces were also engraved with intricate scenes and motifs.
T.G. Hawkes & Co. was a major supplier of glassware to luxury retailers, such as Tiffany & Co. and Cartier, and its products were used in many prestigious events, such as White House state dinners...

Antique and Vintage Serveware, Ceramics, Silver and Glass
Your dining room table is a place where stories are shared and personalities shine — why not treat yourself and your guests to the finest antique and vintage glass, silver, ceramics and serveware for your meals?
Just like the people who sit around your table, your serveware has its own stories and will help you create new memories with your friends and loved ones. From ceramic pottery to glass vases, set your table with serving pieces that add even more personality, color and texture to your dining experience.
Invite serveware from around the world to join your table settings. For special occasions, dress up your plates with a striking Imari charger from 19th-century Japan or incorporate Richard Ginori’s Italian porcelain plates into your dining experience. Celebrate the English ritual of afternoon tea with a Japanese tea set and an antique Victorian kettle. No matter how big or small your dining area is, there is room for the stories of many cultures and varied histories, and there are plenty of ways to add pizzazz to your meals.
Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is more durable than ceramic because it is denser. The latter is ideal for statement pieces — your tall mid-century modern ceramic vase is a guaranteed conversation starter. And while your earthenware or stoneware is maybe better suited to everyday lunches as opposed to the fine bone china you’ve reserved for a holiday meal, handcrafted studio pottery coffee mugs can still be a rich expression of your personal style.
“My motto is ‘Have fun with it,’” says author and celebrated hostess Stephanie Booth Shafran. “It’s yin and yang, high and low, Crate & Barrel with Christofle silver. I like to mix it up — sometimes in the dining room, sometimes on the kitchen banquette, sometimes in the loggia. It transports your guests and makes them feel more comfortable and relaxed.”
Introduce elegance at supper with silver, such as a platter from celebrated Massachusetts silversmith manufacturer Reed and Barton or a regal copper-finish flatware set designed by International Silver Company, another New England company that was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898. By then, Meriden had already earned the nickname “Silver City” for its position as a major hub of silver manufacturing.
At the bar, try a vintage wine cooler to keep bottles cool before serving or an Art Deco decanter and whiskey set for after-dinner drinks — there are many possibilities and no wrong answers for tableware, barware and serveware. Explore an expansive collection of antique and vintage glass, ceramics, silver and serveware today on 1stDibs.
