Bird-themed crystal decanters from Riedel
01 August 2008 by Emma White
Inspired by the grace and elegance of birds, Riedel Crystal's three new decanters are made from hand-blown lead crystal.
The Swan Decanter is one example in the range where wine is poured into the wide opening of the swan's tail, which forms a natural handle and into the wine glass through its neck.
The base of the Flamingo Decanter features a deep punt for the thumb, allowing fingers to cradle the outside of the decanter for stability when pouring.
As with the Swan Decanter, wine is poured into the widest opening of the Paloma Decanter, which acts as a handle through which wine is poured into the glass from the narrow curved neck.
