Vintage ROYAL BRIERLEY 30 cm (~12") Cut Crystal Decanter with Bold buy Fern Leaf Design | Ideal for Liqueurs & Spirits | Great Housewarming Gift
The lovely Royal Brierley cut crystal decanter and stopper will add sparkle to your sideboard — especially when filled with your favorite liqueur or spirit!
Made in England by one of the country's oldest crystal manufacturers, it has a distinctive squat, wide-body design. The lower half of the body features a hand-cut design of fern leaves, while the upper half, as well, as the conical stopper, is clear.
This piece is in very good condition with no chips or cracks to either the body of the decanter or the stopper but shows some minor wear/scratches - especially on the base. There are also some tiny air bubbles however, only one is really visible (see images #3 and #4), and on close examination, there are also some very fine lines and clouding that appear to be inside the stopper, which are only noticeable on very close examination and could have occurred during the manufacturing process.
The pricing takes into account these minor blemishes. The decanter still bears the original Royal Brierley label.

THE BUSY BOWERBIRD STORY
Busy Bowerbird collects and resells beautiful vintage and estate fashion jewelry and 20th-century home décor collectibles, which we ship from either San Francisco, USA, or Sydney, Australia. (Please see details in the Shipping section.)
We present items as they are and clearly indicate their condition. Many collectors prefer their jewelry to look genuine and authentic, which means showing a bit of the wear that naturally occurs with age. Likewise, vintage and antique porcelain may show signs of crazing. Only time can achieve these effects, however, you can polish your Busy Bowerbird treasure just the way you like.
Every item of jewelry we sell is in wearable condition. If there are any stones missing, we will identify them in photos and our descriptions. The same applies if there is a minor issue with an item, e.g., it requires a minor repair. Likewise, we will point out any tarnish, scratches, loss of plating, etc.
We sell all items “As Is” and ship them in an appropriate-sized gift box, packed in bubble wrap. Every piece in our collection has been pre-loved and brings its own (possibly secret) story. Thanks for stopping by!
