Stunning Luxurious Bentley Radiator Grill Decanter. Made of heavy chromium and nickel-plated bronze surrounding a glass container with a green mesh grill.
There is metal casing at the back with a slot to view its boozy contents and a baize cloth to the base.

The radiator grill decanter has an authentic small red enamelled Bentley badge and screw top add the finishing touch.

These exquisite car decanters were designed and made by ‘Ken Rudd of Ruddspeed Ltd’, the tuning company. They first appeared in the 1950s as a series that also included Rolls Royce, SS Jaguar, Bentley, Bugatti and Mercedes and cost between 6 and 7 guineas and offered by luxury department stores such as Harrods. They are fine works of craftsmanship. The cases are heavy chromium-plated metal with realistic and authentic enamel badges. The finish is very high quality with careful detailing, superb chrome-plating. They weigh in at a hefty two and a half pounds in the hand (1.160kg). The rears have a metal plate and are all stamped ‘Ruddspeed Ltd (England). Reg. Design’. The decanters themselves are fully functional, with glass-lined interiors and ‘radiator cap’ stoppers. Each metal backing plate contains a cut out ‘sight glass’, whereby the level of contained liquid can be determined.
