Know before you buy
The carafe has a capacity of 150 cl, which is equivalent to 50.7 ounces. This is ideal for decanting a standard 750 ml bottle of wine while allowing plenty of surface area for aeration.
This piece is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the ash wood and the clarity of the crystal, we recommend hand washing the glass gently with warm water and a mild detergent, ensuring the wood component remains dry.
No, the Folia wine carafe is designed as an open-top vessel. It does not include a lid or stopper, which allows the wine to breathe effectively during service.
The ash wood is an integral part of the design, crafted to complement the crystal bowl. It is intended to remain as a fixed element of the carafe's aesthetic structure.
The carafe stands at a height of 295 mm (11.61 inches) with a diameter of 191 mm (7.52 inches). Its substantial size makes it a striking centerpiece for a dining table.
While specifically designed for wine service to enhance aeration and presentation, its elegant aesthetic makes it suitable for serving water or other non-carbonated beverages.
