Description
A remarkable sterling silver mounted glass decanter by M.B. & Co. (likely M.B. & Co. Ltd., Manchester) featuring an intricately engraved silver overlay with a figural stopper depicting a gentleman in traditional attire, possibly Dutch given the windmill motif on the decanter. The glass body of the decanter is etched with a charming landscape scene, including windmills, indicative of a Dutch influence or theme. The decanter is accompanied by six sterling silver miniature goblets, each marked "C STERLING 74," suggesting they are original to the set or a complementary addition. This set embodies a late 19th to early 20th-century aesthetic, likely Victorian or Edwardian, reflecting the period's penchant for elaborate decorative arts and tablewares. The overall style is ornate and classical, with detailed repoussé work on the silver mounts. The decanter would have been used for serving cordials or spirits. The miniature goblets also bear sterling silver marks, confirming their quality and age. This lot offers a fine example of period silver and glassware, showcasing excellent craftsmanship and decorative appeal.
