ROSWELL GLEASON & SONS (DORCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS) DECANTERS, LOT OF TWO, comprising two cut overlay double-spout glass wine decanters in green and blue, each with punty cuts and Vintage engraved grapevine decoration around the body, with flute-cut necks, and matching cut oblong teared stoppers; each bottle fitted with quadruple-plated metal neck ring, decorative scroll handle, and shaped base. Roswell Gleason & Sons (Dorchester, MA). Third or fourth quarter 19th century. 13 1/2" HOA, 4 1/4" D rim.
Catalogue Note: These bottles are attributed to the New England Glass Co., while the quadruple-plated fittings are attributed to Roswell Gleason & Sons, active in Boston 1851-1871. A set of three colored decanters, similar to these two, and a stand are located at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where it is noted that the set appears in a known Gleason trade catalogue from 1866.

Condition

Both decanters exhibit minor base wear and usage wear on the bottles, particularly around the metal fittings. The metal fittings on both are loose. The blue decanter also features a different end cap at the base of the handle compared to the green decanter, and other examples referenced may have been replaced at some point. Both decanters have some chipping around the crimped mouths, and the blue stopper has a slight chip at the very top point.

Provenance

From the stock of Ian Simmonds, Carlisle, PA.
