ATLANTIS CRYSTAL10-INCH CRYSTAL DECANTER
BEAUTIFUL QUALITY
CLASSIC DESIGN
Up for sale is a beautiful 10-inch Atlantis crystal decanter. Height listed includes the stopper. The pattern is a very classic design and is quite similar to Waterford Lismore.
Please see the photos.
The decanter is pre-owned but is in nice condition. No chips, cracks, stains, or significant defects noted. There are a couple of minor things to note: The
bottom must not be perfectly flat as it wobbles just a slight bit if you push on it, but it is nothing that affects the appearance or function of the decanter. Also, if you hold the decanter up to light at just the right angle and scrutinize it very closely, you may see that there is a very faint film with small spots that appears on the inside.
Since I don't think the decanter has ever been used other than for display, this may be how it came from the manufacturer. In general,
the crystal appears clear, clean, and sparkly, certainly not cloudy or etched, so
I doubt you would ever notice it unless you are looking for it.
I hadn't even noticed these things until I went to list the item so they aren't very obvious. I just like to disclose every little thing for the discriminating buyer.
Here is some information for those who may not be familiar with the Atlantis brand:
The first crystal pieces from the prestigious firm Atlantis were made in the town of Alcobaça, Portugal, in 1972. At the time, the factory was known as Crisal (Alcobaça Crystals) and devoted its production to old Portuguese lead crystal. Founded in 1944, Alcobaça Crystals manufactured chandeliers, sconces, glass for domestic use and other beautiful pieces. Later, in the early 1970s, it began to produce high-quality handmade glass with the help of molds and blow rods, following the old practices of knowledgeable and experienced craftsmen. Atlantis crystal stands out for its beauty, weight, brilliance, transparency and durability, and their pieces are coveted around the world by those who seek the best glasswork....
After its recent merger with the Portuguese Vista Alegre Group, Atlantis is still present in major international markets in more than 20 countries. The brand is recognized as the manufacturer of some of the purest crystal in the world, where the artisan tradition continues to flirt with the best contemporary design. Today the firm’s factory at Alcobaça has more than 500 workers and continues to expand its international presence for costumers that adore a crystal that is as extraordinary as it is sublime and beautiful.
