This 1950s Swedish crystal decanter exemplifies utilitarian glass craftsmanship with clear Art Deco references. Crafted entirely from cool, transparent crystal, the design presents a measured composition: a cylindrical body with a subtle taper flows into a stable, expanding base, accentuated by a prominent, multifaceted stopper with star-cut facets. The lower portion of the vessel is adorned with an evenly spaced, vertical cut pattern forming a cohesive, geometric grid. The faceted stopper, sharply edged and precise, echoes the same ornamental language. There is no presence of metal, colored glass, or additional materials—the focus is on the pure play of reflection and light within crystal clarity. The condition is very good: the surface is free from scratches, chips, or signs of repair, and all components are original.The form of this decanter tells a story of restrained Northern European elegance in the postwar decades, where geometry was a deliberate answer to the everyday need for order. The crystal, reflecting light like a tranquil Swedish lake at dawn, creates nuanced highlights. Each cut and facet recalls a tradition in which usefulness crossed paths with artistic ambition. The silhouette and decorative elements reveal an era in which glass craftsmanship redefined itself—not as spectacular ornamentation, but as architectural discipline and balance, allowing the material’s inherent beauty to emerge.The decanter may be displayed on a chrome or silver tray, accompanied by minimalist mid-century glasses to emphasize its collectible Art Deco pedigree. It would also suit a lacquered sideboard in a contemporary space or a
