About the Item

A beautifully proportioned mid-century French wine decanter, hand-blown in smoky gray-brown glass and capped with a striking spherical stopper. With its elongated neck, curving applied handle, and broad rounded base, this carafe exemplifies the refined functionality of mid-20th century French glassware. The decanter’s subtly smoky hue lends a moody elegance, while natural bubbles and a pontil scar beneath attest to its handcrafted origins. Ideal for aerating and serving wine, this piece was designed with both presentation and preservation in mind—the substantial ball stopper seals the contents while enhancing the sculptural silhouette. Whether used functionally at a dinner party or styled on a bar cart or shelf, this piece brings quiet sophistication and European charm. A collector’s item for those drawn to minimalist glassware, French design, or timeless mid-century forms.
