Item Details

Acharming and authentic pair of 19th Century English clear glass ‘miser's flagons’, retaining their original hollow, air-blown stoppers andfeature the ingenious Victorian "miser" anti-drip mechanism, patented in England in the 1870s. Each neck is encircled by a flared glass catch-collar pierced with a delicate return hole, engineered to capture stray droplets from the spout and channel them seamlessly back into the decanter so not a single drop of fine wine or spirit is wasted.


Celebrated for their understated sculptural form, each vessel is mouth-blown with a generously proportioned, flattened globular body, an applied strap handle with a scrolled terminal, and a slender cylindrical neck. The unadorned crystal-clear glass allows the pure silhouette and subtle, organic hand-blown character of the piece-including gentle ripples in the glass and ground pontil scars to the bases-to take centre stage.


Offering a wonderful marriage of functional Victorian ingenuity and quiet, minimalist elegance, this pair makes a distinguished addition to a contemporary bar cart, formal dining table, or collection of 19th-century British glass.


These impeccably hand crafted decanters are perfect for wine, water or spirits.
