Overview
Pouring happens through the slender neck of this Riedel Swan decanter, while wine goes in through the upturned tail, with a broad body below where the wine breathes. It is mouth-blown by master glassblowers from leaded crystal.
The shape makes it a centerpiece as much as a pouring vessel, and the curves are described as comfortable to lift. It is very tall, so shelf and cabinet clearance matter. Hand washing is the recommended care, and capacity is stated only as a standard bottle.
Who it's for
Collectors, gift buyers and hosts who enjoy a showpiece decanter and have the space to display and store it. People who put everything in the dishwasher, or who have low shelves, should choose a smaller decanter.

Performance notes
The ample body gives wine room to breathe, and the slender elongated neck guides the pour. The curves are balanced for tilting toward a glass. Crystal of this type is delicate, which is why hand washing is recommended.
