George Washington's Mount Vernon Wine Decanters
Two handsome glass wine decanters used by George Washington as president and inherited by his nephew Bushrod Washington, the heir to Mount Vernon. The wine vessels measure about 9.5? tall, with slightly different etched floral designs around the bodies: one features an intertwined grape-and-leaf pattern, while the other has a fern-and-vine motif. Both have three rings around the necks and are topped by elegantly fluted glass stoppers. Tied to the neck of one decanter is a red auction tag with a numerical label associated with the Hearst Corporation's International Studio Art Division's sales. Includes a presentation case gilt-stamped inside the cover: "General Washington's Wine Decanters"; the velvet-lined interior has custom-shaped openings for the two decanters, but one is slightly ill-fitted. In overall fine condition.
