French Pewter Duck Head Decanter

£165

The Duck Head Decanter from Le Potier D’Etain is hand-crafted from the finest, dining quality pewter in France. The wine decanter is in the shape of a duck, where the wine pours out of the beak and has an elegant pewter handle. It makes a unique statement piece and talking point when serving wine at your next dinner party or simply displaying on a cabinet shelf. The pewter duck head and tail is highly detailed and is crafted from 95% pure tin. The decanter’s glass body also enhances the flavour profile of wine.

Highly regarded as the finest purveyors of French pewter, Le Potier D’Etain carry a range of household objects that are hand-moulded and hand-finished in their workshop in the South-East of France.

Le Potier d’Etain was established by the Brassac family, master pewter-smiths for six generations based in the village of Bourg de Péage in South-East France. The Brassac’s were inspired by Louis XIV, who sold his gold and silver tableware for pewter, to finance his battles and the construction of the Versailles. This led to the family becoming pewter potters in Auvergne, France, where the family would visit each village making tableware from their wooden barrow on demand.

In 1952, the Brassac family’s craftsmanship was recognised by all, after François Brassac, having learnt the skill from his father, started his business. He became Master Pewter Potter and created his own hallmarks, which are still present on each object today. The company have recently been accredited as an Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV, Living Heritage Company) – a widely recognised honour in France.
