A 1972 Ste. Pierre Smirnoff "Tava" octagonal decanter by Owens-Illinois Glass — eight clean flat panels with four rounded pour spouts, an elegant promotional bottle with roots in 19th century Russia.
Brand: Ste. Pierre Smirnoff / Tava / Owens-Illinois Glass
Condition: Very good vintage condition. Stopper missing a tiny bit of cork but functions well. Please review all photos carefully — we cannot accept returns.
A wonderful gift for the dad who appreciates clean design, spirits history, and barware that earns its place on the shelf.
The bottom is embossed "Liquor Bottle, 65 8 72" along with the Owens-Illinois logo. The stopper retains its original cork. Originally sold with Ste. Pierre Smirnoff's Tava liqueur — their tagline at the time read: "At Ste. Pierre Smirnoff Fls., we've been making vodka for 150 years. Tava is the only liqueur that bears our name." Smirnoff's story begins in 1818 when Pierre Smirnoff started producing vodka in Russia under his surname; after the Bolshevik Revolution, the family fled to Poland and eventually sold the American rights to Rudolph Kunett, who established Ste. Pierre Smirnoff in New York in 1934.
