How much is this crystal decanter worth?

There are so many mysteries waiting for you at your local thrift store, and thrifted glass is one of the biggies. From shot glasses and vases to functional tableware and art glass, there’s almost always too much to choose from.

But, on this latest thrifting trip, I found a nifty decanter that caught my eye for one very simple reason: an intact stopper. Since so many thrifted decanters are missing this crucial component (often lost or just plain broken), I wondered if this piece just might be worth a flip.

And, is it worth trying to resell even if you can’t definitively link it with a prestigious manufacturer? Find out all this and more on this latest episode of This Week in Thrifting.
