The "Rodney Test," a historical standard used to measure the design and stability of a ship's decanter. This test ensures that a decanter can withstand the motion of a ship at sea without tipping over.

According to legend, a true ship's decanter passes the "Rodney Test" if the shortest distance from the outer edge of the pouring lip to the edge of the base is equal to or greater than the lip's outer circumference.

This set includes a ceramic stopper cork depicting HMS Victory Trafalgar 1805. Please note the box has seen better days and has wear & tear.
