Decanter

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The decanter, by artist Baccarat, has a clear glass body with vertical ribbed lines and etched floral motifs. The base is short and wide, the body tapers up to a short neck and flares at the lip. The stopper matches the decanter's ribbed and etched design, with a faceted top.
