ABOUT PRODUCTID 22026
This spherical decanter, produced in 1899 by the Hallberg manufactory in Stockholm, exemplifies the utilitarian late 19th-century Scandinavian style. The body is made of transparent crystal glass, adorned with pronounced spiral ribbing that lends dynamic structure and highlights the glass's clarity. The upper section features a wide, angular spout, a hinged lid, and a gracefully curved handle—all crafted from plated brass in a warm, golden tone with a smooth, subtly reflective finish. The metal elements harmonize with the crystal form, ensuring both solidity and ease of use. Its proportions—12 cm high and 11 cm in diameter—make it suitable for serving liqueurs, syrups, or juices, while the precise metal-to-glass connections attest to the high standard of craftsmanship. The decanter is hallmarked with the Hallberg name and preserved in very good condition, showing no damage or visible restoration marks.This decanter echoes the voice of the late 19th century—a period when Swedish craftsmanship sought a balance between functionality and discreet ornamentation. The spiral ribbing of the glass creates an interplay of movement and light, while the brass fittings evoke the atmosphere of domestic gatherings and everyday table rituals. Every detail, from the precise hinge to the gentle curve of the handle, seems to tell the story of restrained elegance and practical beauty valued by the Scandinavian bourgeoisie of that era.The decanter could serve as a functional accent on a classic bar tray, surrounded by crystal stemware and silver tableware. It would also work well on a rustic or eclectic dining table, where its subtle sheen and geometric lines could balance the soft textures of textiles or ceramics. In a collector's interior with period furniture or a minimalist kitchen alcove, pairing it with light-colored dishes and dark wood would further emphasize its timeless character.
