The form combines heavy faceted crystal with painted and overlay decoration, creating an effect that changes constantly depending on light and viewing angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is especially striking, built from three deeply cut amber crystal rings that catch reflections almost like jewellery. The stopper continues the same radial pattern, echoing the colours and geometry of the main body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts silhouette recalls decanters associated with the Regency period and later nineteenth century crystal work, though the exact dating remains uncertain. Most likely produced during the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand cut crystal\u003cbr\u003eOverlay crystal\u003cbr\u003ePainted decoration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTall octagonal body with strong vertical facets and richly coloured panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoration shifts between transparency and saturated colour. Blue and green tones move through warm amber crystal, while the heavy cut surfaces create layered reflections inside the glass itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stopper is particularly elaborate, with a starburst style cut pattern that mirrors the faceting below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViewed from different angles, the decanter almost changes character entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePeriod\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePossibly Regency inspired\u003cbr\u003eLikely nineteenth or early twentieth century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight 23 cm including stopper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good antique condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural traces of age and use consistent with antique crystal.
