Turn entertaining into high art. Created to commemorate Riedel's 250th Birthday, the Riedel Amadeo Lyra Decanter is a masterpiece of mouth-blown glass art, in 24% lead crystal.

This Riedel Amadeo Lyra Decanter boasts a unique & challenging shape and design. Only experienced master glass blowers can produce it. Size: 15"H, 59-1/8 oz. Also available as Black Riedel Amadeo Lyra Decanter a stunning design to add to your collection.

Brilliant and spirited, like a Mozart piece come to life, the Amadeo decanter named in the composer's honor is a lasting work of art. Mouth-blown of leaded crystal by master European glassblowers, the decanter forms a U-shape unlike any other made by Riedel, appropriate for its role as commemorative decanter for the innovative Austrian company's 250th anniversary. A full bottle of wine may be decanted into the wider side of the graceful U, which then serves as a handle for pouring the wine into glasses out through the narrower opening. The angled tops of each side perfectly align in a visual plane, a crisp counterpoint to the fluidly curved belly.
A decanter allows either a young or old wine to fully develop before drinking. The Amadeo decanter, a superb gift for the wine connoisseur who also appreciates modern design, holds a full capacity of 59 ounces, and measures 13-7/8 inches in height. An opaque black version is also available. To preserve the clarity of the fine Riedel crystal, the decanter should be carefully washed by hand in hot, soapy water and allowed to air dry. --Ann Bieri

Just stunning!:
Absolutely beautiful decanter. Mine did not include a free drying stand, though - and I still have not figured out how to wash it properly! Perhaps not the most practicable purchase I've ever made, but there isn't a more beautiful way to serve wine on a special occasion.
Exceptionally crafted....:
This is an exceptionally crafted piece. It pours surprisingly well also. A little nervous about knocking it over however.
functional artwork:
This is a really nice decanter, like many of riedel's products it is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship in addition to being a very functional decanter.
