Half-pint decanter

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass decanter with a diamond-cut pattern on the body. The decanter has a wide, flat base that tapers into a long neck and flares out slightly at the top. The top of the decanter features a clear glass stopper with a flat rim. The stopper appears to be in place. The background is light gray, with a slight shadow visible beneath the decanter. The decanter is labeled as Half-pint and is the work of artist Baccarat.
