Rare J. Hoare Richelieu Decanter – SOLD |
This gorgeous decanter was cut in Hoare’s very early Richelieu design. This piece is cut on the same blank they cut many of their early, rare patterns on and is wood wheel polished.
Swirled tusks come down from the upper portion of the decanter and meet at 8 pointed stars that are filled with hobnail. The most unusual scalloped star leads up from the base and runs into the stars. around the perimeter of the decanter.
The decanter is in perfect condition with its original stopper and measures 13″ tall and 5 1/4″ wide. The clear blank shows of this exemplary use of clear space.
