Decanter

In 2004, Antonio Citterio and Toan Nguyen created a mouth-blown decanter with every element reduced to its purest and most essential functional purpose. The neck opens slightly to allow just the right amount of air in so wine can breathe while still allowing the light to ignite the ruby-red brilliance of the vintage. With its pure and well balanced lines, the decanter stands perfectly together with Iittala’s various wine glasses.
