Vintage Baccarat France Crystal Ship's Decanter with Matching Original Stopper

Crafted by the renowned French crystal house Baccarat, this ship's decanter represents a pinnacle of fine European glassmaking. The piece bears the iconic acid-etched Baccarat hallmark on its underside, ensuring its prestigious provenance. A true mark of superior craftsmanship, both the decanter and its substantial spherical stopper share the matching engraved number “169”. This detail indicates the stopper was hand-ground at the factory to seamlessly fit this exact neck, preserving airtight integrity. The wide, stable base—a traditional maritime design originally intended to prevent tipping on the high seas—elegantly grounds the sweeping lines of the crystal. This is an exceptional addition to a curated barware collection, offering both functional brilliance and enduring historical value.
