Ruby Red Glass Decanter With Stopper, 11 Inch Art Deco Ribbed Design

Perfect if you're searching for a statement maker for your holiday table, a showpiece for your vintage bar cart, or a meaningful gift for collectors of American glassware.

Handmade by American glassmaker Paden City during the 1930s, this decanter’s bold ruby color and sculptural ribbed lines echo the vibrant, uplifting design spirit of the Depression era. The substantial feel and clarity of the glass—along with its sculpted stopper—make it both beautiful and functional.

Unlike mass-market glass, this original Art Deco decanter features authentic period craftsmanship with excellent clarity and a satisfyingly heavy base. Its dramatic silhouette and original matching stopper set it apart in any setting.

American glassmakers of the 1930s often used bold color and sculptural shapes to brighten homes during the Depression era. This decanter reflects that spirit beautifully—its rich ruby tone, stacked ribbed bands, and sculpted clear stopper create a dramatic silhouette that suits holiday tables, bar carts, and classic Art Deco interiors. The glass has excellent clarity, and the form feels substantial in hand, making it both decorative and functional.

The piece is in excellent vintage condition with minimal expected wear from age. No chips, cracks, cloudiness, or repairs were found on the decanter or stopper. The glass displays natural mold characteristics typical of early 20th-century American production.

IMPORTANT NOTE: At Darling Della Vintage, we believe every scratch and bit of patina tells a story. Our pieces are 30+ years old and have lived full lives, so gentle wear, tiny chips, or age-worn charm are part of their soul — not flaws. We photograph and describe each item carefully, but please expect natural signs of age. Embracing vintage means embracing history — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
