Wheaton Presidential Decanter Series

Wheaton Presidential Decanter Series

a series of mid-20th century carnival glass bottles produced by the Wheaton Glass Company of New Jersey; each bottle commemorates an American president.

In the mid-20th century, Wheaton Glass Co. of New Jersey unveiled a line of collectible glass bottles featuring the presidents of the United States. These carnival glass bottles commemorated the American presidency and were released around the American bicentennial, allowing the glassworks manufacturer to capitalize on renewed interest in the American past and culture. Each of the bottles in this collection represent a portion of the overall line. The fronts feature the likeness of a president and on the back provide either a quote or a list of achievements.
