Imperial "Imperial Grape" Amber Carafe & Wine Decanter

I did a live phone bid for this Imperial Grape decanter made by Imperial. We collect Imperial decanters and this one was a rare amber.

It was February 11, 2017 and I was connected to the Tampa Bay convention auction online. They were selling the collection of Gary & Sharon Vandevander. Bidding wasn't too crazy and I won the decanter that we had hoped to get.

After Christina Katsikas found out that we had won the amber decanter, she offered to sell us an amber, Imperial Grape carafe she had and we readily accepted. They make a great set.

Now.....I don't know if any exist because I have never heard of them, but now, the hunt is on for an amber Imperial Grape wine.

Thank You Christina for thinking about us and parting with your carafe.
