This is a fine example of a high-quality glass wine decanter produced by Thomas Webb and dating to the latter part of the 20th century.
The decanter is of classic ‘mallet’ shape, with a flattened rim and elongated neck that widens out to merge with the body. The thick, flat base has a central polished pontil which is marked in the centre with the words ‘THOS WEBB ENGLAND’. This mark was in use between 1966 and 1980.
The decanter is made from a striking, rich shade of cobalt blue, sometimes called ‘Bristol’ blue.
It has a maximum height (including the stopper) of approximately 27.0cm and a height to the rim of about 21.5cm. The base has a diameter of about 10.0cm.
It has an unwrapped weight of 760g.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, although there are some wear and tear scratches to the base commensurate with use.
