Title: Quadruple Decanter
Post by: boehnleintaylor on May 09, 2011, 12:26:30 AM

Okay so while looking around in NC I found this next to some vases.  I don't know too much about antiques, but I watch Pawn Stars and American Pickers on History Channel, so I thought I would "pop" on this.  I think that they purchased on Pawn Stars.  I will attach a picture so you guys or gals can tell if I actually have what I think I might or if I going to be repurposing a vase as a quadruple decanter. Thanks in advance.

It looks like one, and I was surprised at how little some of these four-chambered bottles seem to fetch .. this one went for $10! maybe the lack of stoppers didn't help?

This one, with four stoppers which seem to be sitting a little 'proud' is going for $45 ...

We inherited one and it is sitting up high on our cabinet top. 

Seen quite a few over the years....if you have all 4 stoppers/immaculate shape...it will fetch from $30 to 45.

I would not want to fill it or clean it. Maybe that is why they do not do well price wise.

I thought Chumley had a pretty good use for the decanter !!

It is a 4 chamber liquor decanter...sorry meant to put that.  For the days when men wore lounging robes and women wore dainty aprons to entertain!

If you google "4 chamber decanter" you will find them all over the web!

Thanks for the clarification.  I, a college student, will be using this one, maybe I can make it last until I have a son that is going to college and can catch some money then.  Will make a great talking point at my fraternity house though.
