Plain Crystal and Sterling Silver Ships Decanter by Carr’s Silver

Your wine or spirits will look good and pour beautifully in this classic ship’s decanter from Carrs of Sheffield.

A “ship’s decanter” typically has a wide, flat base and a long, narrow neck; and the idea is that the decanter won’t roll off the table as the ship rolls on the waves. Ship’s decanters are sometimes known as “Rodney’s”, after the Admiral of the time when they were first used. The stopper is the classic ball design, and a sterling silver collar adds an elegant touch. The decanter holds a full bottle of wine – or perhaps you’d prefer a ration of grog?

Family silversmiths Carrs is a based in Sheffield, the centre of the UK’s silver industry. The hand-finished decanter collar is made from 925 sterling silver, which was hallmarked at the Sheffield Assay Office.
