D&A Silver Plate Tantalus & Decanters
An excellent silver plated tantalus with three hobnail cut crystal decanters and stoppers.
The silver plate is in very good condition with no losses but is missing the key.
The 3 decanters are all complete and a little rough around their bottoms where they have been in and out of the tantalus.
There are a few flew bits on the stoppers and 1 small flaw in the neck of 1 decanter.
