1978 Beam Slag Glass Decanter-Asian Jade

Jim Beam, one of America’s oldest and most iconic bourbon brands, ventured into the decanter market in the mid-20th century. The first Jim Beam decanters were introduced in 1955 by the Beam Company and were produced in ceramic stoneware by Regal China until 1992. These decanters were initially designed not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their functional purpose of storing bourbon. Their unique shapes and detailed designs quickly made them collector’s items.
Jim Beam Decanters are more than just containers for bourbon; they are a piece of American history and craftsmanship.
The Regal China Company was founded around 1930 by Herman Kravitz in Chicago. Herman immediately hired Catherine Miller as a decorator designer which would prove to be a wise decision. C. Miller designed several pottery designs that grabbed the attention of distiller James Beam. Beam started using Regal China as their bottle maker in 1955. In 1968 the company became a part of the James (Jim) Beam Distilling Company. Regal China and C. Miller created some of the most exciting and amazing designs for Beam's decanter campaign and had a long 62-year run but closed down in 1992.
