Shire Crystal Captains Decanter
A magnificent lead crystal decanter, suitable for leaders and high achievers, and capable of being personalised by engraving on a blank panel within the handcut decoration. These Shire Crystal decanters are handcrafted in Staffordshire by one of England's finest crystal makers. The distinctive shape of a captain's decanter (also known as a ship's decanter) belies its sea-going origins, as captains required a decanter that would not fall or spill when their ship was at sea. Hence the wide, stable base and tall, narrow neck of the ships decanter design. But for wine lovers, the wide base also provides a perfect design to allow a large surface area for fine wines to breathe, and this feature has added to the popularity of the captains decanter design. These Shire Crystal captain's decanters are hand blown in 30% lead crystal, the highest possible quality for lead crystal. They are offered here with free engraving of text and logos, perfect for creating custom corporate gifts, recognition awards or prestige personalised gifts. An optional circular ships decanter wooden base (as shown in image, left), is available for these superb decanters. The base features a gallery rail and a felt-lined circular recess, and is ideal for displaying these decanters as awards or commemorative gifts.
