Some say that in the upright position at 13 degrees, the decanter starts the evening sober. As the night progresses, at 60 degrees, it is a bit tipsy. At 104 degrees the downward position reflects progress of the evening's conversation and suggests that the decanter is ready for a refill.

Care instructions

Each decanter is mouth-blown in Slovenia by a highly skilled lampworker, on a lathe without the use of a mould. Production takes place in editions of twenty, less than once a year. Each piece is engraved in Mayfair, London, with its unique number. To personalise, please see our engraving service here. Decanters include a certificate of origin, which may include the name of the owner - please contact us if you would like to specify how the name will be written. The decanter is protected by wood shavings and packed into a wooden wine box.

Designed to be practical, compact and lightweight, the 75 centilitre decanter holds a standard bottle of wine and fits the hand easily; for more of a statement, please see the magnum.

"A genuinely pioneering product. This has, rather amusingly, turned decanting design on its head – or, to be precise, its side... Moreover, moving the decanter into each position increases the wine’s exposure to oxygen, thereby bringing out the flavours and aromas at a faster rate."

John Stimpfig - Contributing editor at the Financial Times’ 'How to Spend It' & editorial content director of Decanter Magazine.

"Decanting is so important to let wine breathe. We have never seen such a practical yet creative solution to wine presentation and decanting."

Daniel Primack - Winerackd, London.

CRAFT

The decanter is made from borosilicate glass, a material commonly used for scientific laboratory equipment because of its exceptional resistance to thermal shock. Sometimes referred to as 'hard glass', borosilicate is prized for its clarity, strength and precision.

DECANTING

As wine is poured down the neck, it flows to the part where the body of the decanter meets the neck. Here, it spreads across the interior wall into a thin sheet of liquid, increasing exposure allowing it to aerate beautifully.

Care

Rinse with warm water soon after use. Dry externally with a towel and allow any remaining water to drain naturally. For stubborn deposits, the included decanter cleaning balls are recommended. More detail about cleaning glass here.
