Antique Green Glass Wine Decanter with Grape Stopper, ca. 1880–1910

Elegant antique green glass wine decanter, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, complete with its original molded stopper. The decanter is richly decorated with raised grape clusters and vine leaves, celebrating traditional European wine culture.

This decanter is made of mouth-blown green glass with a pear-shaped body and pronounced relief decoration of grapes and vine leaves. The matching solid glass stopper, formed as a bunch of grapes, is original to the piece and adds significant decorative and collector value.

The base shows a thickened finish with a pontil-like treatment, and a molded mark reading “DEPOSE 3”, indicating a registered model — a detail often seen on French glass from this period.
