Victorian Flint and Early American
Pattern Glass Decanters
Bar Bottles and Carafes For Sale

    Early 19th century glass containers for storing and dispensing liquid refreshment took several forms, first among them being flint blown molded, sometimes engraved, decanters with or without blown molded matching stoppers.  Bar lip blown molded flint bottles, produced in the mid 1800s for the commercial trade, came without stoppers.  They had thick rounded openings designed to give stability for cork stoppers or jigger pouring spouts.  Later non-flint pressed glass decanters with stoppers in various sizes were made in great quantities, and finally, carafes or water bottles were made to match many EAPG patterns and they never took a stopper.
