DescriptionOne of a pair of blown colorless glass decanters with a tapered form and flattened circular knob stoppers. Each decanter is decorated with three applied and faceted rings of glass encircling the neck and engraved ornament on the body of two alternating designs: an anchor in a shield and a flower with eight petals in an oval. Engraved swagging connects the two designs. From the bottom of the base about 2 inches up the body are engraved vertical lines ringing the body.
