This is a vintage 24% lead crystal liquor decanter produced by Towle Crystal in the highly sought-after "Riviera" pattern. Manufactured in Poland during the 1980s, this piece showcases the exceptional clarity and brilliant craftsmanship characteristic of premium Polish glasshouses from the era.
This decanter features striking vertical fluted cuts that taper down the elegant neck into a bulbous base, catching and refracting light beautifully. It is a very substantial, heavy piece that feels solid in the hand. The base features the authentic, acid-etched "Riviera" signature cleanly marked into the smooth pontil. Comes complete with its matching solid crystal teardrop stopper.
**Dimensions:**
Total Height (With Stopper): 12 ½ inches (12.5")
Base Diameter: 4 ¾ inches (4.75")
Capacity: Holds approximately 750 ml to 1 Liter of liquid
Weight: 3 lbs 9 oz
**Condition:**
Great vintage condition! No chips, cracks, flea bites, or repairs. The glass is brilliantly clear in most of the decanter. A few spots of cloudy mineral buildup or internal residue and one spot that there is a light scratch. The base also shows minimal, expected light shelf wear from gentle display.
