Overview
Design by Antonio Citterio, 2004.
By iittala.
Decanter stands confidently alongside any range of iittala wine glasses. Its perfectly formed mouth-blown neck opens slightly to allow just the right amount of air in to let the wine breathe. Every element is reduced to its most essential functional purpose, to create a purity of form that illuminates the depth and color of the wine. 2004 design.
Notes:
The glass used in iittala glassware is high quality and optically very clear. It resists both chemical and mechanical wear well. Dishwasher safe.
