Linear Cut Crystal Ships Decanter by Carr’s Silver

A stunning lead crystal ship’s decanter with a linear cut design, from silversmiths Carrs. This is a typical “ship’s decanter” with a flat, wide base and a narrow neck. This is to prevent the decanter from sliding off the Captain’s table! Ship’s decanters are sometimes known as “Rodney’s”, after the Admiral of the time when they were first used. The stopper is the classic ball design, and a sterling silver collar adds an elegant touch. The decanter holds a full bottle of wine – or perhaps you prefer a tot of rum? Carrs is a family-run silversmiths based in Sheffield. The hand-finished collar is made from 925 sterling silver, which was hallmarked at the Sheffield Assay Office. The body of the decanter is made from 24% lead crystal. Size: 27 cm tall (10.6”) Capacity: 75cl (25 fl/oz) The ship’s decanter is presented in a gift box.
