Blue Lodge Past Masters 

Liquor Decanter

This beautiful decanter depicts a "Past Masters" emblem associated with the Blue Lodge.  Within the Square and Compasses is a "Bursting Sun" with the Quadrant underneath.  The quadrant is a quarter of a circle or 90 degrees.  It is an instrument used in astronomy, for measuring altitudes, and in Freemasonry is symbolic of a Worshipful Master navigating (or leading) his Lodge.  Also seen are the "Top Hat and Gavel", both again are symbols of the Worshipful Masters office.
