Know before you buy
The Dean Decanter is crafted from high-quality mouth-blown crystal glass. Like all Juliska glassware, it is designed for both beauty and durability in a home bar setting.
The short, wide neck is specifically engineered to provide a smooth, controlled pour. It minimizes spills and allows for easier refilling compared to decanters with narrow, tapered openings.
The rope base is a subtle decorative detail integrated into the glass, not a separate attachment. It does not interfere with cleaning, though we recommend hand washing with a soft brush to maintain the clarity of the crystal.
While the Dean Decanter is perfect for serving and displaying spirits, it is not airtight. It is best used for decanting beverages you plan to enjoy over the coming weeks rather than for long-term aging.
To preserve the etched detailing and the integrity of the mouth-blown glass, hand wash the decanter using warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can cloud or damage the crystal over time.
