Know before you buy
No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate nature of handmade crystal, we recommend hand-washing it with warm water and a mild detergent to preserve its clarity and finish.
No, this model does not include a stopper. It is designed as an open-top carafe, which is ideal for allowing wine to breathe and develop its full flavor profile before serving.
The carafe has a generous 42 oz. capacity. This is well-suited for a standard 750ml bottle of wine, with plenty of room remaining to allow for proper aeration.
This piece is crafted from traditional crystal glass, which contains lead. It is intended for serving wine and should be washed by hand after each use.
The wide-mouth design serves two purposes: it facilitates a smooth, drip-free pour and provides a large surface area for the wine to interact with oxygen, which helps soften tannins and open up complex aromas.
