Description
A NEAR PAIR OF WILLIAM IV CUT GLASS MAGNUM "ROYAL" DECANTERS, CIRCA 1830, each with a very wide rimmed lip over a triple ring neck and slice cut shoulders continuing down the "V" cut segmented side panels with further slice cutting as ovals, the "V" segments converging underfoot, one topped by a rounded mushroom stopper cut with an eight-pointed star and accompanied by a gilt porcelain "Sherry" hanging tag reversing to "S.A." flanking a castle beneath three fleur-de-lis and crown over "Porcelaine/Limoges/France," the other with a flat octagonal mushroom stopper. Height: 10 1/4" NOTE: During the transition from the Regency to the early Victorian period, the "Nelson" decanter, with a characteristic cylindrical body, was renamed the "Royal" decanter. Although there are slight differences in shape, the reason for these names remains obscure (Leigh, Decanters 1760-1930, pg. 18).
