"Decanter" is the name given by the Fonterra Dairy Cooperative to a product that is derived from dairy processing waste. Water-activated solids (WAS) also known as Biomass, has the water squeezed out of it and the remaining mix of solid material is directly fed into a tip truck and trailer by gravity from an overhead gantry. A small fleet of dedicated tip trucks and trailers are permanently employed to transport the Decanter to various agricultural locations where it is used as a fertilizer.
The first tippers were new bodies mounted on former milk-collection Volvo FM 8-wheelers towing new 4-axle trailers. Because many deliveries are made direct to farm paddocks (fields) in all weathers, these 8x4 haulage chassis were not the best and often got stuck. Therefore subsequent tip trucks for the fleet were new Volvo FMX 6x4 chassis, which have a better off-road performance.
One of the original truck and trailer combinations is seen here, parked-up between duties at the Tirau diary factory.
This port is not of such high quality that it needs decanting but I have a decanter and it is pleasant to have it when I feel like a glass of port with some cheese & biscuits in the evening
Hand-blown wine decanters by Etienne Meneau that mimic grapevine root systems. A part of the SFMOMA 2010 exhibit "HOW WINE BECAME MODERN - Design + Wine 1976 to Now".
I believe this was designed by LaGardo Tackett, although it is not marked on the base. If anyone has any further information, please let me know!
We took a decanter wine set out for a test drive with a nice Chilean red and some Asiago cheese. Very nice.
Waterford Cut Glass Shannon Decanter.
Lovely cutting on this old decanter I acquired for £13. The spirits to put in it cost more !!!
Modern Waterford which is expensive and more simply cut presumably to save labour costs, is probably made on the continent.
Modern style from Waterford here:

The most interesting cake I have made so far, thanks to Min's referal.
A very nice lady who ordered it for her husband's birthday.
Nice heavy vintage Deco style decanter with pedestal base, pouring lips and flask shaped body. Waiting for the Bushmills ;-)
Decanters are out of fashion now so you can pick up some nice examples of the glass cutters skills cheaply.
Nice for decoration or use, this one was very cheap.

Reshoot now I have a softbox for more realistic highlights. Light field lit as suggested by Light, Science & Magic.
Lighting:
SB800 @ 1/16 (24mm zoom) under table onto white foamcore sheet background, black felt covered foamcore sheets either side of background to define edges of glass.
SB800 @ 1/32 (105mm) with DIY straw grid spot onto corkscrew from camera right almost level with corkscrew. Metered at f11 on nearest part of corkscrew.
SB800 @ 1/4 (24mm) in 24"x24" brolly softbox with black gaffer tape cross to fake window. Camera right front metered at f8 for faint highlights on glass.
Triggered by poverty wizards.
In this image an elderly passenger reclines on a deckchair with a pipe, a water decanter and a bottle of malt whiskey labelled: 'W. Lumsden & Co, Aberdeen'. The photograph was taken on an unknown passenger ship, and is part of the McKilliam family collection. The collection includes material from several McKilliam family members, but the majority of the collection relates to Captain Robert Basil Vincent McKilliam's working life as an apprentice, a mate, and then captain - much of which was with the Aberdeen White Star line.

These creatively-shaped decanters took up an entire room at a flea market store near Baocheng Road in central Wuhan. Rockets and more....
A simple water decanter, shoot at home after sun set. Why after sun set, less environmental light. First step was to light the decanter from below, flasch with a diffusor Gary Fong, to much light in the room. Next step flash without diffusor.
Some more steps and trials, last step indirect light from a flash, flash directed into a piece of black carton or cardboard. The cardboard just beside the decanter, round shape with an oppening of approximately 10 cm. This finally brought the desired effect.
Available from Factory 20. A long, long time ago, someone had a fire. A big one. Their loss is our gain. Go us.
