DescriptionThis is a wine decanter shaped like a tall, fairly narrow cylinder. The base is slightly flared, and the rim juts out at the front where liquid can be poured out. A semi-circle handle sits in the middle of the back. Upon the outside of the decanter is a detailed hand-painted image. The image shows large bunches of grapes in yellow, purple, and red. Brown branches and green leaves surround the image, as does a background of a mix of blue, teal, and orange. Underneath the red grapes is the artist's signature which reads "CLARA BLUEHER." The handle and the base are both a deep green, appearing almost black. The back of the decanter shows a gradient of of light teal at the rim to a deep green at the base.On View
