What Are Decanters Made Of?
Decanters are made from a variety of materials, the most popular ceramic or porcelain, while others, especially early editions, were made of glass. One line from Italy features hand-blown glass decanters in tiny animal figures. Some current editions are shaped like cars and trains and have china bodies with plastic attachments. Though initially ignored by purists because of the plastic, these Duesenbergs, Mustangs, Corvettes and others remain very popular and highly collectible.
