DescriptionA boat-shaped holder for a decanter set. It is made of red glass and has metal accents. The boat's front comes to a point while its back is squared off. Its sides are covered with faunal designs painted in green, orange, yellow, blue and white, all outlined and accented with gold enamel. There is decorative metal edging around boat's top edge with a pole with a flag at its front. A curved hook lies directly under the flag and five short pegs are strategically placed around the boat's edge. There is a longer piece of metal traversing the center of the boat that holds a large U-shaped holder. A smaller version is on back of boat so the two can hold the decanter in place. The pegs and hook hold the mugs.
