Victorian and
Early American Flint Pattern Glass Decanters & Bar Bottles And Non-Flint Decanters & Carafes/ Water Bottles 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. |
