Monday Musings: Decanters

BRS dragged me to see The Avengers this weekend
And when I say dragged, it was more like bribed with dinner waving in front of me like Scooby and his Scooby Snacks
What did I take from the movie except for a mini crush on Captain America?

My new obsession with decanters and how we must have them!
We got stuck watching the movie in 3D on accident, which I was nervous about at first, hello vertigo!
There were a few scenes that really popped in 3D, one of which was a scene when Tony Stark (Iron Man) offers Loki (the villain) a cocktail among the madness to distract him 
Forget the monster effects in the movie, but hello minor details this girl enjoyed!
Mr. Stark displayed a nice collection of decanters on his Jetson's-esq bar, check it out:

I'll take one of each!
William Yeoward Helen Square Decatner - HERE
Baccarat Harcourt Whiskey Decanter - HERE

Kate Spade Banyan Stripe Decanter - HERE

e-bay has a number of beautiful decanters up for bidding, including a bunch of vintage Lalique decanters
Whether you display them in a cabinet, on a bar, or cart, decanters are a sure way to glitz up a space

  1. OMG!!! I completly agree I had a very similiar experience after watching the movie. Now I have set a mission to find decanters and possibly collect them(funny thing is I don't drink). I would use them for everyday beverages like water,orange juice and cranberry juice.lol Great job to the set designer of the movie. Thanks for this blog.

    1. Thanks for commenting! I'm sorry I just saw this... I love decanters as well, in fact I have the Williams-Sonoma monogrammed decanter next to my bedside for water at night.

      I think some vintage ones on a bar cart for a summer bbq or shower with juices, etc. would be so cute!

      Glad you were able to find my blog this way!

    1. Honestly I think it MAY be vintage... saw something similar here:

      Note how short it is and the sterling lip... As for the glassware, I think they may be discontinued Baccarat? Sorry I'm not great help! Good luck!

    2. I think the Glasses are the Royal Doulton Prism series from the decanter and glasses set.
