A pair of 19th century onion-form cut glass decanters circa 1880.
Onion form decanters are elegant glass vessels characterised by their rounded, bulbous bodies that taper toward the neck, resembling the shape of an onion.
Popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, these decanters were often hand-blown and sometimes feature intricate cut patterns or stoppers. Their shape not only adds aesthetic charm but also aids in aerating wines and spirits, allowing flavours to develop fully.
Typically made from clear or slightly tinted glass, onion decanters are prized by collectors for their craftsmanship and historical value. They remain a stylish addition to modern bars and dining tables, blending functionality with timeless design.
