Clear crystal, balanced proportions and an original stopper.
This vintage Dartington Crystal decanter was designed by Frank Thrower and dates from the late 1960s to around 1980. Its defined shape and substantial lead crystal give it presence without relying on colour or elaborate decoration.
The original stopper completes the silhouette, creating a compact piece of British glass design. Thrower’s approach combined practical forms with a distinctive simplicity, qualities reflected in this decanter’s proportions.
Display it on a sideboard with a pair of glasses, or place it among ceramics and framed artwork where the clear crystal offers a contrast in texture. Its understated appearance works easily with both vintage furniture and contemporary interiors.
A piece of British design for someone who appreciates glassware, form and function.
