The Brilliant cut glass crystal wine decanter was made before World War 1. The advent of finding high grade silica in America led to higher quality glass than Europe and led to the brilliant shine that you see on this decanter. The beginning of world war 1 brought the brilliant glass making to a halt since the war effort needed the lead oxide the glass makers needed for their craft. This is why there was such a short period of brilliant glass made (1886-1915). The process was expensive and brilliant glass graced the tables of high society. This beautiful piece shows why these pieces were so coveted by high society.
