Know before you buy
The black finish is opaque, meaning you cannot see the level or color of the spirit through the glass. It is designed primarily as a striking decorative piece that prioritizes visual contrast over visibility of the contents.
While it is perfect for serving, this decanter is not airtight. It is best used for spirits you plan to consume within a few weeks rather than for long-term aging or storage.
To preserve the finish and the integrity of the crystal, hand wash the decanter with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive detergents can damage the crystal and the black embellishment.
The decanter is designed to hold a standard 750ml bottle of spirits comfortably. Its square profile provides a stable base while maintaining a sophisticated, geometric aesthetic.
The stopper is crafted from fine crystal and is precision-fitted to the neck of the decanter. While it sits securely to prevent dust and debris from entering, it is not a hermetic seal.
