The long Victorian period (1838-1901) spanned over an immensely prolific time in the history of art and design. It covers such great fashions as Gothic Revival, the Pre-Raphaelites, Aesthetic Movement, Expressionism, Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau. That was quite unlike any other period.
Facts of Lavish Good to know — it's alright to use any decanter shape for any drink, as long as you like the style. Traditionally, larger decanters are for wine, port and sherry, and the smaller are for liquors, such as whisky.
