The elegant and graceful curves of the Bottega del Vino Crystal Decanter America was designed by a sommelier and is ideal for many uses. It is heavily footed for stability with a narrow hour-glass figure that will take up a small amount of space on your dining room table but will command a lot of attention. The squeezed neck allows a secure grip, even with moisture present. Pouring wine into the decanter against the raised side of the opening quickly aerates the wine. Beautiful, lead-free Bottega del Vino crystal from Verona, Italy is mouth-blown and hand-finished to create light, perfectly balanced, elegant shapes. Astonishingly, this crystal is not fragile! The master sommelier at Bottega del Vino designed the stemware to replace lead oxide with lighter barium oxide, which is clearer, more brilliant, and much less fragile than lead crystal. In fact, these glasses are dishwasher safe and used in restaurants worldwide. The superbly crafted bowl and single pull stem feel marvelous in your hand and on your lips, and intensify the pleasure of drinking fine wines. Bottega del Vino is dedicated to creating the finest possible wine glass from which to savor and appreciate the result of years of work in the vineyard. Their lead-free crystal is produced by hand using centuries-old techniques and skills that are mastered with years of experience. Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back. Dishwasher safe.
