Item Description:
Stunning Mid-Century French Blown Glass Cognac Decanter with Built-In Ice Chamber
Bring authentic European mid-century charm to your dining table or bar cart with this vintage hand-blown light green glass decanter. Imported from France during the post-Prohibition era, this piece is both an incredible conversation starter and a functional historical artifact.
The Iconic Ice Pocket Design:
This bottle features a fascinating, open-air \"donut\" or central hole passing right through the body. This is a built-in ice chamber (or ice pocket). Historically, users would pack crushed ice directly into this open center to chill their cognac, brandy, or wine rapidly from the inside out without ever diluting the precious spirit.
Historical Embossed Markings:
• \"FEDERAL LAW FORofferS SALE OR RE-USE OF THIS BOTTLE\" — Crisp, raised lettering arches boldly across the front shoulder, dating this piece strictly between 1935 and 1964.
• \"COGNAC FRANCE\" — Boldly embossed around the lower base perimeter, certifying its authentic French origins for the historic American export market.
Condition & Staging:
• Condition Details: Excellent vintage condition with zero cracks, chips, or heavy clouding. The glass has a wonderful, luminous quality that glows beautifully when backlit.
• Display Ideas: While perfect for a barware collector, its unique sculptural shape also makes it a spectacular, eye-catching bud vase for single-stem florals or propagate greenery on a sunny windowsill.
• Please review all high-resolution photos to admire the craftsmanship and verify condition details.
