Description
Hot Orange Retro Bark Glass Decanter
Striking flame orange textured decanter for serving wine or liquor. This lovely bottle was probably made in Italy, blown from a mold with thick sturdy glass. It is unmarked. The hot orange color and bark textured surface lights-up and glitters in the sunlight. It is perfect for a window shelf or ledge.
Before the 1960’s, people thought it “in poor taste” to serve alcohol in the original bottle. Wine and other spirits were decanted into more “acceptable” containers. Booze makers fought this trend by supplying their product in jazzed-up, decor oriented bottles. This is one of those bottles. These wine bottles came filled with liquid and originally had cork or plastic surrounding the neck of the stopper. Most bottles like this found today are missing the cork or plastic due to age. Without the cork, the stopper is not airtight. Perfect for decanting a potion you plan to drink right away, but not good for storing alcohol.
The retro bark glass decanter measures 10″ tall, 4″ wide on each of 4 sides, and weighs 2 lbs.[color-box]More About Italian, Murano, Venetian Glass[/color-box]
