About the Item

Heading : 18th century Cruciform decanter c1740 Date : c1740 Period : George II Origin :  England  Colour : Clear Neck : Triple annulated collar  Body : Cruciform  Pontil : Snapped Glass Type : Lead. Size :  31.2  cm to top of stopper Condition : Excellent. no chips or cracks Restoration : None Weight :  1214 grams 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. This is the tallest example we have seen by some considerable margin The Decanter Ancient to Modern by Andy McConnell Pg. 65 This is a varient of the cruciform, typical examples would have fewer, but more pronounced, moulded sections.
