Know before you buy
No, this decanter is not dishwasher safe. Due to the hand-painted 21 Karat Gold details on the stopper and the delicate nature of mouth-blown crystal, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and warm water.
The Nobel Decanter has a 40-ounce capacity, making it well-suited for holding a standard bottle of whiskey, brandy, or other fine spirits.
The decanter includes a secure glass stopper designed to fit the neck of the bottle. While it provides a classic closure for serving and short-term storage, it is not airtight, so it is best used for spirits you plan to enjoy regularly.
No, this decanter is crafted from traditional crystal glass, which is not lead-free. This material is chosen for its superior clarity and weight, consistent with the heritage design of the Nobel collection.
No, this specific model is not suitable for engraving. The delicate nature of the mouth-blown crystal and the intricate design details make it unsuitable for the engraving process.
Each Nobel Decanter is expertly mouth-blown in Sweden. It is produced by Orrefors, maintaining the same design standards used for the official Nobel Banquet tableware.
