English Regency Amber Cut Glass Straight-Sided Decanter and Stopper, Circa 1825 Circa 1820–1830 This English decanter of straight-sided cylindrical form is blown in glass of a rich, deep amber tone, colored throughout the metal, and retains its mushroom stopper. The lower body is cut with closely set narrow vertical flutes that rise from the base to a plain band, above which a narrow band of fine vertical fluting is set between incised lines beneath a second plain band, and below the shoulder runs a bold band of large relief diamonds, each facet catching the light against the warm ground. The sloping shoulder is slice-cut with broad flat panels, with a band of small fan cuts at its foot just above the diamonds, and rises to a panel-cut neck carrying two broad, flat-cut rings, one at the junction with the shoulder and one at mid-height, beneath a flat everted lip. The stopper is of mushroom form, its shallow domed head cut with radiating flutes to a notched edge, and it rises from a ball knop on a short waisted stem. The base is finished with a ground and polished pontil mark. The shape, the pattern of cutting and the stopper are all typically English and were made in great numbers in clear glass; it is the color that makes this decanter rare. Very little English cut glass of the early nineteenth century was colored at all, and an amber example of this pattern, retaining its original stopper, is a considerable rarity.
