About This Piece

An assembled decanter set comprising a 19th-century blown glass decanter with painted gilt decoration, paired with a gold-washed silver Porto label by the celebrated French silversmith Puiforcat. An elegant combination for serving glorious, sweet Port wine — whether before dinner, with cheese, or as a digestif.

Hallmarks & Provenance

The decanter label is French, marked with the small item “crab mark” for .800 silver (in use 1838–1984), and bears the maker’s punch for Puiforcat (active 1897–1945), one of France’s most distinguished silversmith houses. The decanter is possibly Continental.
