Know before you buy
No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the clarity and integrity of the fine crystal, we recommend hand-washing it with mild soap and warm water.
The included matching stopper is designed to sit securely in the neck of the decanter to minimize evaporation. While it provides a good seal for standard use, it is not airtight, so it is best suited for spirits you intend to enjoy over a reasonable period.
The Iona Ships Decanter is ideal for heavy-bodied spirits like whiskey, bourbon, scotch, or brandy. Its wide base provides excellent stability, which is a hallmark of the traditional ships decanter design.
Yes, this piece is crafted from traditional fine crystal glass, which contains lead. This material is chosen for its superior clarity, weight, and ability to catch the light through the thumb-cut detailing.
This specific model is not suitable for engraving. The intricate thumb-cut detailing across the surface of the glass makes it difficult to achieve a clean, legible inscription.
