Features
Signature Heart Design: The Bliss features a rounded body with an off-centre heart-shaped indentation pressed from both sides. This creates a distinctive sculptural focal point while encouraging the wine to pool around the heart, increasing its exposed surface area for aeration.
Comfortable Grip: The compressed heart-shaped section also creates a natural place for the fingers to rest, making the decanter comfortable and controlled to pour.
Black Tie Detail: A refined black crystal stripe runs elegantly from the base through the neck. The stripe is created by introducing a rod of black crystal into the molten glass before forming, making it an integral part of the handmade design.
Handmade Craftsmanship: The Bliss is individually mouth-blown and formed by hand without the use of a mould. Small variations, bubbles and other minor characteristics are natural features of handmade crystal and make each piece unique.
