Fantastic vintage ceramic figural decanter featuring a dapper gentleman in a black top hat and tuxedo, holding a whiskey bottle in one hand and raising his glass with the other. The front reads: “Work is the Curse of the Drinking Class” – a humorous quotation widely attributed to Oscar Wilde. A great piece of vintage novelty barware with plenty of character. The black, cream and rosy-pink hand-painted details give him a classic mid-century/retro look, and the figural stopper completes the design. Perfect for a vintage bar, cocktail cart, home bar display, Oscar Wilde collector, or anyone who appreciates old-school drinking humor. Vintage pre-owned condition with age-appropriate wear. Please review all photographs closely for condition, finish, and details, as they are part of the description. No chips, cracks, breaks, or repairs.
