Decanter, Crown Royal, Canadian Whiskey, Diamond & Oval Pattern, Glass, Vintage, 1970s

Ten cases of this whisky were bottled for a royal train journey in 1939 — and every drop was consumed before the trip was over. This 1970s Crown Royal decanter carries that legacy in cut diamond panels and a regal oval band.

• Maker: Crown Royal (Seagram's)
• Materials: Cut glass
• Dimensions: 10.0" tall (with stopper), approx. 4.4" diameter, holds approx. 25 oz
• Origin: Canada
• Era: Vintage, 1970s
• Condition: Very good — the plastic portion of the stopper is slightly loose and can occasionally stick in the bottle neck, an easy fix. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.

Cut diamond panels on the upper and lower halves flank a center band of large ovals, one side etched with a grape bunch, the other with the Crown Royal crest. The base and stopper top both carry a bold starburst pattern, and the original stopper is included.

A handsome addition to any home bar — whether filled with whisky, water, or simply displayed as a piece of barware history.

Crown Royal has one of the great origin stories in spirits history: in 1939, Samuel Bronfman of Seagram's created it to mark King George VI and Queen Elizabeth's visit to Canada, testing more than 600 blends before settling on the final recipe. All ten cases bottled for the royal train trip were consumed during the journey, and the whisky wasn't sold outside Canada until the 1960s.
