Decanter

Decanter - Rim

Description

This object was used for pouring wine in ships’ wardrooms, the place where officers ate on board.  Early frigates had a lot of tableware like this decanter, but few shipboard objects as fragile as this survive today. This decanter is exceptionally rare as it was used in the wardroom of USS Constitution.
