Royal Selangor Wicker Decanter

Pewter and blown glass, 9” tall x 8” wide. In new condition. From Royal Selangor: The contradiction of a humble countrified trellis, decorating a receptacle whose sole purpose is of oenological ritual, may well be just as delicious as the Premier cru breathing within. Wicker’s diamond pattern, adopted from traditional willow fencing and basketry techniques, evokes the rural charms of a pastoral life, a yearning for which was fashionable amongst French aristocracy of the 18th century.
