Riedel Eve Decanter 1950/09

The decanter stands tall and slender on the table, a silhouette that is as much sculpture as it is a serving piece. The Riedel Eve Decanter is designed to be a conversation starter long before anyone has tasted the wine inside it.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Eve Decanter 1950/09 is a crystal glass wine decanter from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, defined by its striking, elongated silhouette with a tall, slender neck.

Riedel has been making glass since 1756, and the family business is now run by its 11th generation of glassmakers and designers. The Eve Decanter belongs among Riedel's more sculptural decanters, where form matters just as much as function. If you need the right bottle for the decanter, browse our range of Red Wine.

Design & Material

The decanter is made from clear crystal glass and stands a full 50.5 cm tall, making it a striking centrepiece on any table or in a display cabinet. The slender, elongated shape gives the wine plenty of room to breathe, while the decanter remains easy to pour from.

Use & Recommendation

The decanter works well for airing a red wine that needs it, but it works just as well as a purely decorative piece that presents the wine beautifully before serving. Pour the wine into the decanter well ahead of serving and let the striking shape make its impression on the table.
