Description

Description
An exceptional Bristol Blue Georgian Irish Whiskey Mell Decanter dating to c1830.
It has its original Mother of Pearl and Brass stopper with an enamelled "Irish Whiskey" which has a cork base. A wide, pouring lip leads down to a slender neck, hand-painted and gilded with wildflowers in red, orange, and yellow. This continues down to a floral cartouche of similar flowers (which could be Fuchsia) with the central gilded 'Whiskey' . Polished pontil.
In Scotland, whisky is spelt without the 'e as opposed to Whiskey in Ireland.
A very rare example of decoration.
