Early 19th Century French Carafe

Early 19th Century French Carafe

Definition.

This rare carafe was made in the beginning of the 19th century, by one of the famous French glassworkers.

The bottle is made of an alloy of glass and crystal, to obtain a more beautiful and purer glass.

In the 19th century, glass and crystal were not as pure as what we know today.

The carafe is mouth-blown, after which fine decorations are applied with great precision with the acid etching technique.

The decanter has a very beautiful scene of flower tendrils.

The neck is finished with a silver-plated collar.

Unfortunately, the cap is missing from this carafe.

Very nice unique item for the collectors.

Given its age, a small trace of wear may be present, as well as glass threads, air bubbles and imperfections are completely normal for handmade antique glassware.
