Irish Galway Crystal 11.5 inch Open Decanter
About the Item
PRESENTING A LOVELY Irish Galway Crystal 11.5 inch Open Decanter.
Quite RARE!
Swan neck design, which tells us it was a ‘decanter’ .. rather than a ‘vase’.
Made in Ireland circa 1980, by the desirable Galway Crystal company on the West Coast of Ireland.
Cross-cut and fluted design on the lower half.
Unlike Waterford pieces, most earlier Galway pieces were not marked or etched with the makers name. This one is one of those! It has a serial number etched on the base but we cannot decipher it!
We know it is a ‘Galway’ piece because (1) it was bought by my mother in Ireland (who loved Galway pieces) and (2) Galway Crystal pieces are known for being ‘heavier’ and ‘thicker’ than even Waterford.
This is a heavy and thick crystal …. unmistakably, Galway!
Would be used as a ‘Wine Decanter’ for everyday use, hence, the lack of any form of lid.
Provenance: From my Mother’s Estate in Ireland.
Dimensions: 11.5 inches tall, Rim diameter of 2.75 inches and base diameter of 3.75 inches. 4.5 inch diameter at widest point. Weighs 4lbs.
Condition: Excellent with no chips or cracks. No box.
We cannot find another one like it on the marketplace!

- 19C Irish Georgian Style Secretary BookcaseLocated in Dallas, TXPRESENTING a STUNNING 19C Irish Georgian Style Secretary Bookcase. From circa 1850-60 and most definitely, “IRISH”. Made of gorgeous flamed Cuban mahogany which would have been imported from the British Colonies at the end of the 18th Century and early 19th Century. This piece of is of IMPRESSIVE PROPORTIONS ….. it is a real STATEMENT piece and EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY ! It has a very ‘Regency Style’ pelmet or crown with egg and dart moldings under a very straight line crown. The top section consists of a 4 door bookcase, each with 3 shelving areas. It appears to retain it’s original glass, but it could likewise have been replaced at some time during it’s long life, as it is very rare to find pieces that have not suffered breakages over 150+ years. Each bookcase door still retains the original moldings to the front with a star shape above and below a central circular viewing panel. Each section is separated by a carved and fluted roman column/pillar. The bookcase section rests on top of the base, which consists of a beautiful central secretaire desk accessed by drop down front with working lock and key and rests on 2 pull out rests on either side. The secretary portion has a central tabernacle, with an inlaid oval satinwood medallion above another scallop shell drawer. It has 6 smaller drawers and 8 cubbies. The 2 pillars on either side of the central tabernacle are secret drawers and pull out. The curved crowns above the cubbies on either side are likewise secret drawers and pull out. Either side of the secretary there are 2 drawers (4 total) with a press or cupboard underneath. Under the secretary there are 4 large central drawers. The brasses and hardware are all original to the piece (save 2 extra hinges that have been attached to the drop down secretary to give it more support and stability. Again, each section is separated by a turned and fluted column/pillar which replicates the 2 side pillars to the central tabernacle of the secretary. The piece sits on 8 curved feet. This was an extremely high quality piece when made. This is also supported by the fact that the secondary woods are also mahogany and not pine or oak for slightly lesser quality pieces of the era. This piece is specifically identifiable as an Irish Georgian Style piece by virtue of the scallop shell moldings on the base side presses (see photos). Irish Georgian furniture...Category
