5 Incredible Antique French Liqueur Sets and Decanters

I always think to myself "Do I really need anything else to encourage my drinking habits?" The answer is definitely yes, by the way. I'll let you in on a little secret: I probably have too many liqueur sets. I'm sure you can understand the need for a different kind of set for each season, type of drink, and mood! As I was searching for more retro kitchen items on Etsy, I found these vintage french decanter sets that you must see.

This midcentury gilded French liqueur set is absolutely delightful. Typically I do not like gold or stripes, but these are just jaw dropping. They are clearly perfect for the holidays. I actually think they would be a very vibrant and amazing set during the summer. The stems on the glasses look thick enough that they wouldn't easily break. I would only bring these out for very special guests, though!

Speaking of summertime, this 1950's nautical French liquor decanter set is lovely. My grandfather actually owns a sailboat and would enjoy this as a gift! I like the peach colored glass they chose to make this. It gives it a lot more character and brings out the beautiful painted blues on the sailboat.

I can't believe how elegant this midcentury glass decanter is. Again, normally I wouldn't like the gold trim, but with this set it works for me! I wish I had this for Easter, but maybe I can get it for next year.

What a unique find! This vintage French liqueur set would be so much fun to have at a party! I really love how each cup has a different color. The houndstooth pattern gives this set an edgy quality that I like. It definitely looks like it is from the 1960's!

This antique French decanter set is so bright and groovy. I am in love with the red/orange diamond print all around the glasses. This is one set that would definitely match my decor. It wouldn't look half bad with some champagne in it. Even better - Whiskey!

Take a look at these gorgeous vintage French decanter sets on Etsy. Out of the five, which one do you like the most? It's a hard choice! They are all individually awesome. It will be hard to pick. Tell me about your finds in the comments below!

I was so excited to find this Antique Blenko Pitcher with Hobnail Detail. I know it's crazy, but I think having two spouts is super awesome! I feel awkward sometimes when I turn the whole pitcher around so I can find the handle and the knob. Also, the texture is really interesting.

What a groovy pitcher. This Blenko Green Glass Decanter has an awesome design and gorgeous color. Can you imagine serving limeade with this decanter? I think it would be a perfect for a hot summer day.

I am imagining storing my flowers in this Turquoise Blue Blenko Pitcher. I like it, but it definitely feels like it could be used to store my bouquets. It reminds me of the Mediterranean with it's beautiful blue color.

Imagine serving lemonade or frosty Whisky Sours out of this vintage Blenko Jonquil pitcher! It has crackle glass and dates from the late 1950s.

I know that this would be a great pitcher to bring to a beach party. This Vintage Blue Blenko Crackle Pitcher reminds me of how light hits the ocean. It's just stunning!
