CUT GLASS DIAMOND SHAPE WATER/WINE DECANTER. SILVER PLATE OR SILVER, THINKING PLATE THOUGH VINTAGE, NOT IN GREAT CONDITION. TOP PIECE MISSING TOP SCREWS OFF FOR FILLING AND FOR CHILLING. HAS MUCH WEAR AND TARNISH. I'M TOLD SHOULD HAVE PLASTIC PIECE THAT LAYS INSIDE DECANTER FOR CHILLING WATER OR WINE. YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PURCHASE ONE, OR FRANKENSTEIN ONE :) IT'S VERY OLD, AND FROM ESTATE SALE, SO DON'T KNOW MUCH ELSE. IT CAN BE CLEANED UP A BIT MORE.

ACROSS BOTTOM APPROX. 5" AND ABOUT 7" FROM HANDLE TO SPOUT. DIAMOND CUT GLASS. BEAUTIFUL OLD WORLD STYLING TO PIECE. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE, YOU CAN JUST DISPLAY, OR PUT COLORED WATER IN, OR COME UP WITH SOMETHING IT CAN BE USED FOR.
