Buyer's premium:

A collection of approximately fifty to sixty assorted bottle and decanter stoppers, primarily crafted from clear, colorless glass, with a notable number exhibiting a smoky grey or light brown tint, suggesting lead crystal construction due to their brilliant faceting. Styles are varied, featuring numerous cut glass patterns including hobnail, starburst, diamond, and multi-faceted geometric designs, alongside some plainer, polished forms. The finials range in shape from spherical, ovoid, and mushroom-capped to various tapered and faceted designs, all with ground shanks for insertion. No discernible text, maker’s marks, or etched numbers are visible.
