Vintage Stremmel Etched Glass Decanter with Stopper

About this piece

DESCRIPTIONA tall clear-glass Stremmel decanter with a cylindrical body, rounded shoulders, narrow neck, and broad flared lip. The body is wrapped in a deeply textured geometric pattern of interlocking triangles, starbursts, and faceted points that scatters the light while leaving the shoulder and lower border clear. A round hollow-glass ball stopper with a cork fitting completes the slender silhouette.WORTH NOTING“Stremmel” is visibly raised on the neck, and additional molded lettering circles the underside, though it is not fully legible in the photograph. The decorative body treatment appears molded or pressed rather than hand etched. Exact glass composition, production date, and liquid capacity are not verified.MEASUREMENTSEstimated from the full-object photographs: approximately 14–16 in high with the stopper in place and 3 1/2–4 1/2 in across the body. These dimensions are estimated, not hand measured; capacity is unknown.CONDITIONPre-owned with visible cloudiness or residue inside the shoulder and lower body, plus amber-brown discoloration around the cork and neck. The cork shows age, darkening, and surface irregularity. Light scratches and shelf wear are visible, especially at the base. No obvious large chip or full crack is shown, but the rim, stopper joint, and patterned points should be reviewed closely in the photographs.STYLE NOTESSet it on a walnut bar cart with low tumblers for a crisp mid-century mood, or use it empty as a light-catching accent among brass and smoked glass. Its elongated profile also works beautifully as a single-stem vessel once suitability and cleanliness are assessed.FROM THE HOUSEThis decanter has the easy glamour of an old cocktail hour—the gleam of cut geometry, a generous round stopper, and just enough history in the glass. May it lend a little ceremony to the next pour. ~ Genevieve
