An antique
Russian glass decanter from an everyday service of Tsar Nicholas II,
1896-1917.
Such glass decanters were mass produced for Imperial palaces
throughout the reign of Nicholas II but very few have survived to these
days, especially with original stoppers.
Height 13 1/2 in. (34,5 cm)
sold
The decanter is acid etched with Tsar Nicholas II cipher - H
II, beneath Russian Imperial crown.
A similar glass decanter but with engraved cipher, was sold
from this site in 2006. That decanter had an inventory number 976. The
current decanter also has a scratched number (70) under the base.
