Description
The Riedel Horn Decanter is a curved, coiled design inspired by the insignia of the Austrian Posts mail delivery system. It was designed by the Riedel family and requires three master glassblowers to create. The clear crystal color is accented by a large regal golden yellow stripe outlined by two black lines following the contours of its curved silhouette.
- Modeled after a musical horn’s coiled shape, the Horn decanter is a homage to the Riedel family’s central European heritage in Austria and Bohemia

- Like many other coiled decanters by Riedel, the Horn decanter double-decants wine, a technology developed to accelerate the aeration of wine by the creation of a vacuum within the vessel
