About the Design

Oblong reeded design: 4.3cm in length

Compact yet refined, the label showcases classic styling with crisp “SHERRY” lettering at its centre. The design is subtly ornate, reflecting the elegance of the William IV era (1830–1836), while maintaining a practical form for hanging around the neck of a decanter or bottle.

Its neat proportions and clear engraving offer both decorative appeal and everyday utility—an excellent example of form meeting function in early 19th-century tableware.
