Abstract: A decanter structure wherein a glass liquid-holding bowl is provided with an upstanding neck. An annular set-in-place seal is provided about the neck effectively permanently bonded to the neck and removably sealingly engaging a one-piece handle and spout element connected to the neck. A protective bumper band is set-in-place about the portion of the globular bowl of largest diameter to define a resilient bumper permanently bonded to the glass bowl.

Abstract: A decanter for use with a beverage, such as coffee, having a pouring spout provided with a mounting portion carrying a suitable handle. The mounting structure is sealingly secured to the neck of the decanter by compressive engagement with a seal ring set in place about the neck of the decanter below the upper edge thereof. The seal ring is compressed both axially and radially as a result of the engagement therewith by a stepped portion of the bore of the mounting structure. The mounting structure is retained against axial displacement from the installed condition wherein the seal is thusly compressed by an interlock at the lower end of the mounting structure and a cooperating portion on the decanter neck. An upper, inturned flange on the mounting structure is spaced slightly above the upper edge of the decanter neck in the installed arrangement of the spout on the decanter.

Abstract: A one-piece handle structure for use in carrying a decanter having a lower bowl portion and an upper neck portion. The handle structure includes a collar portion embracing the neck of the decanter and a protective band embracing the bowl of the decanter. The handle is longitudinally split. The collar and band comprise C-shaped elements having their opposite ends connected to the opposite split portions of the handle at the top and bottom thereof, respectively. The front portion of the collar is continuous and underlies the pouring spout of the neck to protect the spout in use.
