Gilt Crystal Decanter Set
A heavy cut-crystal decanter with a faceted stopper, banded in gold, with six matching tumblers cut to the same pattern. The facets are deep enough to throw real refractions under a single low light.
Seven pieces. It is an ornate object, best on a dark sideboard with one lamp on it rather than lost in the middle of a dressed table. The gold is a plain band: the decoration is in the cutting.
Cut crystal · Clyro
Take the bottle off the table.
Seven pieces that turn pouring a drink into an event. A decanter earns its place by putting something worth looking at where the bottle was.
The cut
Deep enough to throw real light.
A heavy cut-crystal decanter with a faceted stopper, banded in gold, with six matching tumblers cut to the same pattern.
The facets are cut deep enough to throw real refractions under a single low light, which is the whole point of putting a decanter out rather than leaving the bottle on the table.
The gold
Ornate, and no apology for it.
The gold is a plain band, nothing more. The decoration is in the cutting, not in anything laid over the glass.
It is an ornate object. Best on a dark sideboard with one lamp on it, rather than lost in the middle of a dressed table.
The set
What arrives in the box.
One decanter and six tumblers, cut to the same pattern so the set reads as one thing on a tray.
01
One decanter, faceted stopper
Heavy cut crystal with a matching faceted stopper. The weight is deliberate; it is meant to sit out rather than be put away.
06
Six matching tumblers
Cut to the same pattern as the decanter, so the set reads as one thing on a tray. Six is enough for a table without a second box.
A plain gold band
Polished gold banding, and nothing else laid over the glass. The pattern comes from the cut, not from applied decoration.
07 pieces
Boxed together
The decanter and all six tumblers arrive in one box. It is a complete thing to give, which is most of why sets like this exist.
Cut crystal and gold both photograph brighter than they read in a room, and the refractions in the images depend entirely on the light used to shoot them.
The thing on the sideboard that people look at.
Where it lives
How to use it well.
One low light, on a sideboard
A single lamp low beside it does more for the glass than a bright room ever will. Given its own dark surface it reads as a centrepiece.
Left out, not shut away
Stopper it empty rather than wet, and it can stay on display between uses instead of living in a cupboard.
Hand wash only, in warm water. A dishwasher dulls both the cut and the gold.

Questions
Before you order.
How many pieces do I actually get?
Seven: one decanter with its faceted stopper, and six matching tumblers, boxed together.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash only, in warm water — a dishwasher dulls both the cut and the gold. Dry with a soft cloth, and stopper the decanter empty rather than wet.
How much does the decanter hold?
We do not have a measured capacity to publish, so we have left that row out rather than estimate one. Ask us before you order if the exact volume matters.
Is it too much?
It is ornate and does not pretend otherwise. If you want a plain modern decanter this is not it. If you want the thing on the sideboard that people look at, it is.
Are any dimensions published?
No capacity or dimensions are published for this set, so none are stated here.
